Killing Floor 3 is Tripwire’s latest iteration of the infamous zombie horde shooter. This time, the developers chose Unreal Engine 5, which led to a lot of negative feedback. The game’s design choices make it extremely CPU-intensive, even with top-tier AMD cards such as the RX 7900 XTX. Going for max settings will result in severe FPS drops. Below, we’ve tuned the settings specifically to achieve high FPS for ultimate combat immersion, while balancing visuals.

Note: Regardless of the RDNA 3 GPU you are using, ensure your CPU is at least as powerful as a Ryzen 5 5700X and supports Resizable Bar. Otherwise, the game’s CPU-intensive nature will result in frequent micro-stutters.

If you own any of the aforementioned GPUs, such as the RX 7600, RX 7600 XT, or RX 7700 XT, these settings are a perfect starting point. Use DLSS Swapper to use the latest FSR 3.1.3 algorithm for the best upscaling quality on RDNA 3 cards.

If you want to use Frame Generation, you need Lossless Scaling or the Optiscaler mod, since official FSR Framegen support isn’t available. Then again, use FG only if you have a CPU that is causing a bottleneck. The best approach for the lowest latency in a CPU-bound case is to use adaptive-framegen via Lossless Scaling.

With the likes of the RX 7800 XT and the RX 7900 GRE, these two are incredibly capable GPUs from the RDNA 3 era. If medium settings cause the frame rate to drop below 100, try lowering shading and post-processing settings to see if it improves performance. As for the upscaler, you can switch to a higher quality; these GPUs can easily handle it. If possible, memory overclock the 7900 GRE; it is bandwidth-limited. Otherwise, if tuned properly, it matches a 4070 TI closely in raster.

The RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX are brutal answers from AMD. Even with all of their computing power, the game will still face performance issues at stock ultra settings. Remember, you need a CPU that goes beyond the Ryzen 7 5700X in this case; otherwise, you will need to rely on unofficial FG methods to mitigate the CPU bottleneck.
