Sandfall Interactive’s fresh take on RPGs, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, has won the hearts of fans of the genre. The game offers a deep and dark storyline filled with mysteries, unknown beasts, and sights to behold. It ensures an experience like no other with its incredible camera movement, flashy special effects during combat, Lumen-based dynamic lighting, and Nanite-based geometry.

Naturally, such features tend to tax the CPU and GPU quite heavily. Moreover, being an Unreal Engine 5-based title, it already puts abnormal stress on the CPU. To avoid facing performance issues, the best solution for now is to carefully tune the in-game settings.

GPUs such as the AMD RX 9070 are extremely powerful and can easily handle Clair Obscur Expedition 33 in 1440p at maxed settings, or even in 4K at medium to ultra settings. But it can be slightly overwhelming to figure out which settings to choose for each option. Don’t worry—we’re here to help. This post covers our recommended settings for the RX 9070 in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Let’s get started.

Note: Our settings are best suited for gaming in 1440p. Turn down the Upscaler from the quality preset to balanced to play in 4K without many issues. If issues persist, lower certain settings. Due to the lack of FSR, we recommend using Intel XeSS as the upscaler. Pair with Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Intel Ultra 7 265K, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 5 9600X, or Ryzen 7 7800X3D to avoid performance bottleneck.
