The RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX are AMD’s last-gen flagships. They can easily handle many titles at maxed-out settings, including the Veilguard. Both of these beasts offer plenty of VRAM on a fast memory bus, which means maxed-out settings at native 1440p are a piece of cake for either. But, regarding RT performance, gamers should go a bit easy. The settings below paint an excellent picture of a smooth gaming performance when playing Veilguard.

It’s worth noting that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is particularly CPU-dependent. Pairing these GPUs with a powerful processor like an AMD X3D series or equivalent Intel CPU will yield the best results. The game can effectively utilize over eight CPU cores, making it ideal for modern multicore processors.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • At 1440p, the RX 7900 XT and XTX run Dragon Age: The Veilguard near max settings with high frame rates.
  • Lower Terrain Decoration to boost performance if it’s too demanding.
  • At 4K, the RX 7900 XT/XTX will need tuning to stay smooth.
  • Switch to FSR Balanced for big gains with minimal quality loss.
  • If FSR looks sub-par, use OptiScaler + DLSS Unlocker for FSR 3.1.2 from Nexus Mods.
  • Run at native res for max quality—upscaling requirements are optional on these GPUs.
  • Enable Frame Gen if CPU-bound on 1440p.
  • Watch VRAM usage to catch possible memory leaks.
  • Ensure adequate cooling is provided—high CPU loads can cause thermal issues.
  • Turn on SAM (AMD) or Resizable BAR (Intel) to ease CPU bottlenecks.
  • Enable SAM (Smart Access Memory) if you use an AMD CPU or Resizable Bar if you use an Intel CPU for the best experience.
  • Monitor 1% and .1% with RTGSS (Afterburner) and make changes accordingly.
