Best Broken Arrow settings for the AMD RX 470 (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 470 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Broken Arrow runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 470 (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Broken Arrow is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 28 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Broken Arrow: Large-scale modern-warfare RTS - big battles are partly CPU-bound; lower Unit Detail and Effects first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Broken Arrow supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially in big battles.
Unit / Model DetailMedium+6% FPS
How detailed the many on-screen units are — partly a CPU cost in large battles. High is a safe trim when the field fills up.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range — heavy across a big map. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
Effects / ExplosionsHighbaseline
Explosions, smoke and tracer effects — these tank FPS in heavy firefights. Medium smooths the worst dips.
Terrain & FoliageHighbaseline
Ground detail and vegetation density. High is fine; lower it for frames on weaker GPUs.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA gives a softer image; SMAA is sharper but shimmers on the zoomed-out map.
