Cronos The New Dawn is a highly intensive Unreal Engine 5-powered survival horror game. Although the game has faced criticism regarding its optimization, it runs smoothly on modern hardware, such as RTX 50 Series GPUs. With our settings below, the RTX 5050 can also achieve a consistent 60 FPS at 1080p.

Gamers with the RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 should stick to 1080p. However, the RTX 5060 Ti, specifically the 16GB version, allows gamers to go for 1440p. This is because the 5060 Ti is truly an impressive card for its price. You can expect a consistent 60 FPS alongside a smooth frametime graph with our settings. As long as you have a good CPU, such as the Core i5-12400F or higher, paired with one of these GPU classes, you are good to go.

Gamers with the RTX 5070 or RTX 5070 Ti can use 1440p. These settings can be further increased to enhance the visuals. However, for optimal visibility, given the game’s gloomy ambiance, these performance-oriented choices improve input response, gameplay, and visual clarity.

Based on our observations, higher effects and more particles on the screen only get in the way, as this is a survival horror title. In most cases, you will be shooting your way out rather than admiring horrifying enemies. It is subjective, but with the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, you can turn on ray tracing and increase other visual settings to see how things perform.
