The RX 9070 XT and the RX 9070 are mid-range GPUs by AMD, utilizing the RDNA 4 architecture. Although these are priced like mid-range GPUs, their performance is high-end. Stellar Blade is a prime example of how effective optimization can benefit both gamers and the game studio. Not only is the game a huge success, but it is also a perfect example of how, even without RT, a game can still look visually appealing.

The 9070 XT can run the game with no issues. However, the settings below are optimized in a way that further boosts the FPS figures beyond what the stock “Very High” settings could provide.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • Use FSR 4 Anti-Aliasing for the best-looking image output. FSR 4 uses AI to upscale, and in the process cleans up the image from temporal instabilities, motion smearing, shimmering, and artifacts.

  • FG can be easily enabled for even high refresh rate FPS figures.

  • RX 9070 users can also utilize these settings. Performance is adequate on both cards; if FPS figures drop on your RX 9070, adjust the Ambient Occlusion, Lighting, and Volumetric Fog settings accordingly.

That concludes the RX 9070 XT best settings guide for Stellar Blade. By adjusting ground clutter and particle quality, it eliminates one of Unreal Engine 4’s biggest limitations, as these settings consume FPS. In stock settings, they are generally on the higher side. Changing these also doesn’t make a noticeable difference, but what it does do is increase your frame rates by a significant amount.
