Here are the optimal settings for playing Diablo 4 on your RTX 5070 desktop GPU with ray tracing enabled at 1440p resolution.

The Nvidia RTX 5070 utilizes the Blackwell GPU architecture and delivers an outstanding 1440p high-refresh-rate experience in Diablo 4. With these settings, particularly with the ray tracing options suggested here, you can easily get a native high fps (120+) 1440p experience. Additionally, when you enable frame generation alongside DLSS, things only get better.
Note: Even at 1440p without sufficient CPU power, such as a Core i5-13600K or the Ryzen 5 9600X, you may experience CPU bottlenecks, especially with these RT settings.
Diablo 4 – RTX 5070 Best Settings for 1440p

A few keynotes to consider:
- If you are stuttering in mob-heavy dungeons, enable frame generation, then dial back the FOG quality, Ambient Occlusion, or lower the Shader quality to medium. Lastly, if nothing works out, drop down the RT settings to low.
- DLSS is disabled in this guide, primarily because it makes the image softer and blurrier. However, it’s there for the taking; you can keep it enabled, and it will only substantially boost your FPS.

Verdict
This wraps up the suggested settings guide for Diablo 4 on the RTX 5070. You can use these settings as a starting point and then customize further according to your FPS requirements. Ray tracing is quite intensive, so if you have paired the 5070 with a CPU that’s significantly weaker than what is mentioned here, then frame generation and upscaling are mandatory. Otherwise, the game will likely stutter.
