Best Ghost of Tsushima 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), Ghost of Tsushima runs at roughly 36 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 14FPS 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 Ghost of Tsushima is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 36 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 36 FPS at 1080p and 22 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 12 FPS at 4K. 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
Ghost of Tsushima supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A smooth port - upscaling is particularly effective here.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution. High is a great value pick over Very High.
Foliage QualityLow+9% FPS
Grass and vegetation density - significant in the open-world fields. One of the bigger GPU costs.
Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS
Water and surface reflections. High is clean and cheaper than Very High.
Particle QualityLow+6% FPS
Smoke, embers and weather effects. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.
Volumetric FogLow+6% FPS
Mist and atmospheric haze across the island. A solid, low-risk saving.
Level of DetailLow+5% FPS
How far full-detail geometry renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Depth of FieldOff+4% FPS
Cinematic blur on near and far objects. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps distant ground surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
