Best Settings for Dune: Awakening – RTX 4060 Laptop

Gamers looking forward to playing Dune: Awakening on their RTX 4060 Laptop should check out these 1080p settings.

From the house of Funcom, well known for its optimized titles such as Conan Exiles, Dune Awakening follows a similar trend. The game runs incredibly well on any hardware, whether entry-level, mid-range, or high-end. The settings scale almost linearly from observation, and the game doesn’t look bad even at low settings. Gamers with a 4060 Laptop should consider using the settings below for visual fidelity and performance.

Note: The 4060 Laptop GPUs have hardware specifications identical to their desktop counterparts. But they run at a lower TDP, scaling from 45W to 140W+. Gamers with an RTX 4060 Laptop with around 45W TDP will need to use even lower settings than those mentioned here. Many 4060 laptops come with a 120W+ TDP and a 1440p display. To do that, you can use DLSS in a balanced profile and enjoy 1440p.

A few keynotes to consider:

Brands typically pair the RTX 4060 with high-performance CPUs like Intel’s H/HX series or AMD’s HS/HX chips. If your laptop uses a lower-power CPU variant (like Intel’s P or T series), you must shift more workload to the GPU. The best way to do this is by running the game at native 1440p, and then fine-tuning the detail settings while monitoring VRAM usage. Dune Awakening can easily become CPU-bound with low-power CPUs.
Consider undervolting your CPU and GPU so that the power budget allows higher boost clocks and reduced thermals, resulting in a higher 1% and AVG FPS.
DLSS 4 has been present since the beginning, and the developers have made a smart move by doing this. Since the game uses BattleEye anti-cheat, a user trying to swap DLLs might run into trouble if the game sees files that are not within its metadata.

Dune’s excellent optimization helps end-users achieve smooth 1080p gameplay. You can even turn on frame generation, plug in a controller, and play the game, provided you are pretty close to your game server, with around 30- 50ms ping, to successfully parry your enemies, dodge projectiles, and enjoy the game.
