Best Saros settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Saros runs at roughly 30 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 13FPS 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 Saros is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 30 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 30 FPS at 1080p and 18 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. Saros offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Saros (from the Returnal team, Housemarque) supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - and this fast roguelike wants high, steady frames.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections on the rain-slicked alien world. A real cost - keep Off for the high frame rates twitchy combat needs.
Particle QualityLow+11% FPS
Housemarque's signature bullet-hell particle storms - the heaviest setting in chaotic fights. High is the value pick over Epic.
Shadow QualityLow+9% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic while running faster.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+7% FPS
Reflections on wet ground when ray tracing is off. Medium is plenty.
Volumetric FogLow+6% FPS
Atmospheric fog and god-rays. Medium is an easy, near-invisible win.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is cheap and good-looking.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness, shown with a VRAM estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Epic.
