Best Star Wars Outlaws settings for the AMD RX 480 (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 480 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Star Wars Outlaws runs at roughly 55 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 25FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 480 (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Star Wars Outlaws is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 55 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 55 FPS at 1080p and 34 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 19 FPS at 4K. Star Wars Outlaws offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 480 (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Star Wars Outlaws 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
Star Wars Outlaws (Snowdrop) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - it is very demanding.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsLow0% FPS
Ray-traced reflection quality on top of the always-on RT lighting (Outlaws' ray tracing can't be fully disabled). Lower it for high FPS - it's the heaviest GPU setting.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Vegetation QualityLow+7% FPS
Grass and plant density across the planets. A real cost in lush areas.
Volumetric FogLow+7% FPS
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. A solid saving with little visible loss.
Reflections (SSR)Low+6% FPS
Standard screen-space reflections. Medium is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingLow+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
