These Where Winds Meet settings will reduce shimmering on any of your RTX 30 Series GPUs and provide the best image quality.
Where Winds Meet is an open-world Wuxia A-RPG that is challenging to run on aging hardware. The RTX 30 Series has been out since 2020, and although it supports all the modern features, modern game optimizations speak differently. The game uses the Messiah Engine and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing. When RT is enabled, the game looks spectacular, but the performance falls apart.
If you are looking to play this game with RT on an entry-level RTX 30 Series card, such as the RTX 3050, chances are slim. Apart from performance issues, there is also noticeable shimmering in foliage and leaves, which severely hampers the game’s look and feel.
The settings below improve the game’s visuals and reduce shimmering so that you can enjoy a smoother, cleaner image.
Note: The game is quite CPU-heavy, and we recommend pairing a Ryzen 5 5600X with an entry-level RTX 30 Series card to avoid bottlenecks. The higher the CPU performance, the better the frame pacing will be.

Where Winds Meet – Best Settings for RTX 3050 Through RTX 3070 Ti
For the RTX 3050, RTX 3060, and RTX 3060 Ti, we recommend playing the game at 1080p. However, with the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti, you can opt for 1440p and see how things fare. When playing at 1440p with the 3070 or 3070 Ti, be sure to check VRAM usage. If VRAM runs out, the game will become unplayable.
