Best A Plague Tale: Requiem settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 27 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 11FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 27 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 27 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in A Plague Tale: Requiem at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
A Plague Tale: Requiem supports DLSS and FSR plus frame generation. A big help - the rat scenes are very demanding.
Ray-Traced Ambient OcclusionOffsaves FPS
Adds ray-traced contact shadows. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Shadow MapsLow+10% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Effects QualityLow+9% FPS
Drives the thousands of on-screen rats and fire - the heaviest setting in the swarm scenes. High smooths them a lot.
Volumetric LightsLow+7% FPS
Atmospheric fog and god rays - core to the look but a real cost. High is a clean trade.
Screen-Space ReflectionsOff+6% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Low is plenty in the grim countryside.
Draw DistanceLow+5% FPS
How far the world and grass render at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
