The new turn-based RPG, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, has already attracted several fans of the genre. The game features a deep, melancholic storyline with no compromise in graphics. The combat system is really engaging, with fluid camera movements and flashy special effects to draw the player in. It is built on Unreal Engine 5 and makes use of advanced features like Lumen for dynamic lighting and Nanite for detailed geometry.

While it looks amazing, Unreal Engine 5-based titles tend to be heavily CPU-straining. Although graphics cards such as the RX 7900 XT are more than powerful enough to handle running Clair Obscur Expedition 33 in 1440p, adjusting the settings carefully will ensure a gameplay experience that looks great and has minimal performance issues.

To that effect, let us go over our recommended settings for the RX 7900 XT in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Keep in mind that these settings are optimized for gaming in 1440p. If you want to play comfortably in 4K with most or all settings maxed out, we aren’t quite there yet. However, you can push the resolution to 4K by lowering certain settings like Texture Quality, Reflection, Shadows, and Global Illumination, as well as using the upscaler in performance or ultra-performance presets.

Note: You can change the settings as needed for your system’s hardware configuration. Pair the GPU with Ryzen 9 9900X, Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 5 9600X, i9-13900K, or Ryzen 7 5800X3D to avoid a performance bottleneck.
