Regardless of how the media shuns the RTX 5070 in terms of VRAM, right now, it’s one of those GPUs that packs in serious firepower in the mid-range segment. Since the RTX 4070 Ti and the 4070 Supers are out of commission. The 5070 fills that gap, offering new features, the same VRAM, and improved performance, primarily in terms of frame generation. Fortunately enough, mid-range gamers have something competent at 1440p. Dune Awakening is an optimized title for 2025, and that is quite a rare sight. So, if you are playing the game with a 5070, use these settings. 

Note: At these higher settings, Lumen is incredibly taxing on the CPU. So if you are not using a processor that is equivalent to or higher than a Core i5 12600KF or a Ryzen 5 7600, you will encounter CPU-bound issues, even at 1440p.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • With Frame Generation (FG), you can expect around 100 FPS with these settings. With MFG, it will scale accordingly, doubling the frame rate. 3x, or 4x. 
  • Higher Values in FG will likely cause VRAM issues within your GPU, so keep an eye on the VRAM counter; you can do that via MSI Afterburner (RTSS).
  • You can use these settings as a starting point. If you are comfortable with the frame rates, you can either use Native AA (turn off upscaling, i.e.) or further increase the settings with DLSS enabled.
  • Refrain from using DLSS Swapper for this title, as it utilizes the latest upscaler options from the ground up. Battle Eye might flag this and risk your account.

Conclusion

That wraps up the recommendation for the RTX 5070 for Dune Awakening. As a mid-range / upper mid-range class product. The 5070 has power, but it feels lackluster; it does precisely what the 4070 Ti did, but surprisingly, in terms of compute power, it’s still slower than the 12GB 4070 Ti. The 4070 Ti Super is still way faster.
