Stellar Blade Best PC Settings for Performance and Visuals
Written by Rahul Gupta
You can run Stellar Blade smoothly on PC even with mid-range specs, but the game does eat up VRAM fast. If you're aiming for 60 FPS or better without sacrificing visual quality, tweaking the graphics settings is the key.
Here’s the best setup to use for each performance level.
Best Settings for Smooth Gameplay
Recommended Settings for Most PCs
If your GPU has 6–8 GB of VRAM (like an RTX 2060 Super or RX 5700 XT), this is the safest and smoothest combo:
Upscaling (DLAA or FSR Native)
Environment Texture: High
Character Texture: Very High
Shadow Quality: Medium
Volumetric Fog: High
Ambient Occlusion: High
Depth of Field: On (but you can turn it off to boost FPS)
You’ll get 60 FPS at 1440p or better on most decent rigs using this setup.
For Low-End PCs (6GB VRAM or lower)
If you're running a GTX 1060 or something similar, use these:
Anti-Aliasing: TAA
Environment Texture: Medium
Character Texture: High
Shadow Quality: Low
Volumetric Fog: Medium
Ambient Occlusion: Medium
Depth of Field: Off
This will keep the game smooth at 1080p without wrecking your VRAM.
For High-End Systems (RTX 3080 or better)
If you’ve got plenty of VRAM (10 GB+), just crank it all the way:
Upscaling: DLAA or FSR Native
Environment Texture: High
Character Texture: Very High
Shadow Quality: Very High
Volumetric Fog: Very High
Ambient Occlusion: Very High
Depth of Field: On
Expect stable 60+ FPS at 4K with this preset.
VRAM Tips
Stellar Blade is GPU-heavy, not CPU-heavy. But its VRAM usage is high, even at 1080p. If you start seeing stutters, lower the Environment Texture first, then Volumetric Fog.
Keeping both textures at Medium is your safest bet on 6 GB GPUs.
Final Blurb
Stellar Blade looks amazing, but it’s kinder to your PC than you’d think. Tweak texture and fog settings based on your VRAM, and you’ll easily lock 60 FPS without turning it into a pixelated mess.
FAQ
Q: Does Stellar Blade need a high-end CPU?
No, it’s GPU-bound. A 4-core CPU or better is fine.
Q: Why is my VRAM maxing out at 1080p?
Ultra textures and fog settings use a lot of VRAM, even at lower resolutions.
Q: What should I lower first for better FPS?
Drop Environment Texture and Volumetric Fog to Medium.
Q: Can I run it at 60 FPS on a GTX 1060?
Yes, at 1080p using Low or Medium settings.
Q: What engine does the game use?
Stellar Blade runs on Unreal Engine 4.
