Cronos The New Dawn is built on Unreal Engine 5 and features incredible graphics. However, it is quite heavy and may struggle to deliver 60 FPS, especially on older Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. That’s why you must optimize the graphics settings in the game to ensure it runs better. Since 60 FPS is the optimum way of playing games, that’s the target we used to optimize the settings.

In this article, we are sharing all the best optimized settings for Cronos The New Dawn. We optimized these settings using a combination of Low, Medium, and High settings to offer 60 FPS. Read on to learn more.

The Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XTX are two of the best GPUs in the Radeon RX 7000 series. AMD equipped them with 20 and 24GB of VRAM, so they will never face any VRAM-related issues. These two graphics cards can play Cronos The New Dawn at 4K with 60 FPS. However, the game exhibited signs of random frame drops and/or stutters, which can be somewhat minimized if you use the following settings:

Note: The settings provided below are based on the game’s recommended specs and shouldn’t be used for resolutions higher than 3840 x 2160.

Conclusion

Cronos The New Dawn can run decently well at 60 FPS with the optimized settings provided above. These settings will also minimize frame drops and/or stutters on systems with Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. However, you must also apply the Day 1 patch for the best possible experience. Also, if you find the game environment to be shimmering, use XeSS instead of FSR in Supersampling settings. That should improve the image quality.
