Cronos The New Dawn on older GPUs, such as the Nvidia RTX 30 series, is plagued by sudden frame drops and stutters. This is because the default settings of the game are not particularly optimized for these GPUs. We have found that using optimized settings can not only boost the frame rate but also eliminate the random frame drops that some users experience.

In this article, we are sharing the best Cronos The New Dawn settings for RTX 30 series GPUs. Read on to learn more.

The Nvidia RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti were two budget GPUs in the RTX 30 series. They were designed for 1080p gaming when they launched almost five years ago. However, they are much older now and struggle to deliver 60 FPS in modern games like Cronos The New Dawn. With the right settings, though, these two graphics cards can run the game at 1080p with 60 FPS.

Here are all the optimized settings for Nvidia RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti:

Note: The settings provided below are based on the game’s recommended specs and shouldn’t be used for resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080.

The Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are designed for 1440p gaming, and they can still achieve that if you use optimized settings. Modern games like Cronos The New Dawn require a lot of power, which these two cards lack. Therefore, you must use the optimized settings below to play the game at 1440p with 60 FPS.

Note: The settings provided below are based on the game’s recommended specs and shouldn’t be used for resolutions higher than 2560 x 1440.

You will need powerful RTX 30 series GPUs, like the Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3090, to play Cronos The New Dawn at 4K. These GPUs have a lot of shader cores, RT cores, and memory, so they can play the game at 4K resolution. However, you will still need to apply the settings below to achieve a smooth 60 FPS.

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

There is no doubt that Cronos The New Dawn requires a lot of system resources. However, using the right settings, you can ease the pressure on your PC. This will allow it to deliver much better performance without degrading visuals too much. These settings should also eliminate random frame drop issues. If it still happens, you must restart the game once.

Unfortunately, this issue mainly occurs on 8GB GPUs, which cannot be permanently fixed. Until the developers update the game, you must restart it if you face random frame drops.
