You can dial in these absolutely maxed-out native 4K settings for your RTX 5080 graphics card in The Last of Us 2 Remastered PC.

The RTX is the second-fastest gaming GPU (period) available now to gamers, which means it can run any title at 4K native settings. Well, the same applies to The Last of Us 2 Remastered.

Surprisingly, our settings below are quite similar to those in the RTX 4080 / 4080 Super article, as the 5080 isn’t worth writing home about. Yes, it’s fast, but it continues the classic Nvidia trend at $1200 MSRP and paltry VRAM. Below are the absolute max settings on native 4K, which this card can deal with easily.

Note: Our settings will be perfectly compatible if you are aiming for a high refresh rate DLSS 4 experience. Remember, you’re using maxed-out 4K settings here, so you’ll need at least a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or an Intel 14700K (or better) to avoid CPU bottlenecks.
