Best Stellar Blade settings for the AMD RX 480 (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 480 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Stellar Blade 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 480 (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Stellar Blade is a demanding, graphically heavy 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 52 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Stellar Blade 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.
