The 6800 XT and the RX 6800 represent RDNA 2’s high-end offering for gamers. These cards from the past still hold up well against optimized modern-day titles such as Stellar Blade. The generous 16GB VRAM buffer allows all texture settings to be easily maxed out without breaking a sweat.

However, maxing everything will not make the game’s performance optimal for these GPUs, as their age is starting to show. To extract the best performance while leveraging the full potential of these GPUs, consider using the settings below.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • If you want to try native AA for the best image quality, you can easily select this option for 1080p and 1440p resolutions. The raster horsepower of these GPUs is still significant as of today.
  • To achieve 100+ FPS consistently, upscaling is necessary at both 1440p and 1080p. Balanced profile for 1440p and Quality for 1080p. If the image quality bothers you, consider switching to a different Quality profile, but note that the FPS figures will be reduced. 
  • If your base framerate is above 70, enabling FSR Frame Generation will push framerates consistently above 100+ all the time, including NPC-heavy areas.
  • FSR 3.1 is algorithm-driven and doesn’t implement any AI technologies, hence using DLSS Swapper for the latest FSR iteration is beneficial.
