Diablo 4 is a top-down ARPG with an incredible storyline. Many people love to play this game at 1080p with all settings turned up, because the map design, environment, and DLC look spectacular. Unfortunately, gamers require at least 6GB of VRAM to do so. The settings below will help you achieve 60+ FPS with your GPU, eliminating the need for upscaling and ensuring your game, even in performance mode, looks excellent.

Note: Users with 4GB VRAM, such as those with GPUs like the GTX 1050 Ti, 1650 Super, and laptop iterations of RTX 3050 or 2050, can also try these settings. On older cards, such as the 1050 Ti or even a 3GB 1060, you can enable upscaling features like FSR/XeSS and see how they perform. However, users with a powerful 6GB GPU, such as the 1660 Ti or above, can easily play at native resolutions with these settings.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • Texture Quality should be set to High for cards with 8GB+ VRAM, Medium for 6GB VRAM cards, and Low for 4GB VRAM cards.
  • Use Upscaling like DLSS/FSR/XeSS, depending on your GPU, and only if required for additional FPS headroom.
  • SSAO Quality has the biggest performance impact, lower these if required.
  • If you are playing with an RTX GPU, such as the 2060 or above, you can enable Ray Tracing and set it to low settings.
  • AMD users who want to use Frame Generation must use Lossless scaling; native support isn’t yet available.
