The RX 6900 XT and RX 6950 XT represent AMD’s RDNA 2 flagship GPUs. With their 16GB VRAM buffer and compute power, they easily meet Veilguard’s demanding graphics requirements. At the same time, both of these are flagship cards that can drive high settings in the game. Please be aware that gamers have reported VRAM leakage within the game. Below are the optimized settings you should go for while playing Veilguard.

Note—Strong CPU performance is crucial, especially in areas like Arlathan Forest and Treviso. Pairing these powerful GPUs with an underpowered CPU will result in wasted GPU potential. Dragon Age: The Veilguard scales well across 8+ CPU cores, so ensure your processor can keep up with these beasts.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • At 1440p, use Quality mode FSR if you need additional performance. At 4K, the Balanced mode offers the best compromise between visual fidelity and frame rates.
  • Both cards perform best with high-end CPUs. Many gamers have reported significant performance differences based on CPU limitations.
  • If you notice performance degradation after extended play sessions, save your game and restart the application to clear any memory leaks.
  • For optimal performance, ensure you’re using the latest AMD drivers.
  • While these cards support ray tracing, enabling it at 4K will significantly impact performance. Consider using the “Selective” ray tracing option, which activates RT only when performance headroom allows.
  • Dragon Age: Veilguard ships with built-in support for FSR 2.2, though this version is no longer current.
  • If experiencing frame pacing issues, use RTSS to cap your framerate to a stable value (e.g., 60, 90, or 120 FPS, depending on your monitor’s capabilities).
  • Gamers are encouraged to use the OptiScaler alongside the FSR 3.1.2 performance mod from Nexus Mods to achieve improved visuals and higher frame rates and eliminate chances of CPU bottlenecks.
