The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE leverages RDNA 3.0 architecture to deliver solid 1440p performance. Back in 2023, when it launched, it was a high-end card. Today, with some adjustments to the settings, you can even play games in 4K using this card.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered has been ported to PC, making the second installment of the beloved franchise available to several gamers. While the port is much better than Part 1’s, there are still certain optimization issues. The game itself is quite resource-taxing. Even modern GPUs can face issues handling the extensive mesh and polygon counts in the dense environments of this game.

To enjoy this game smoothly, without much compromise to the visuals, it is imperative to adjust the settings accordingly. To that effect, we present to you our recommendations of the best settings for RX 7900 GRE in The Last of Us 2 Remastered on PC.

Note: Our settings are suited for 1440p gaming, but you are welcome to adjust it according to your personal preferences. Using FSR 4 makes the game playable in higher resolution with barely any loss to visual fidelity. We also recommend pairing the GPU with either a 13th Gen Intel (13600KF) or 7th Gen Ryzen 5 CPU (7600X) to avoid performance bottlenecks.
