Best Until Dawn settings for the AMD RX 470 (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 470 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Until Dawn runs at roughly 58 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS 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 Until Dawn is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 58 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 58 FPS at 1080p and 36 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 20 FPS at 4K. Until Dawn offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 470 (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Until Dawn 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.

💡 Until Dawn: Unreal Engine 5 remake - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off RT reflections and lower Lumen GI first.
