On a AMD RX 540 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), God of War Ragnarök runs at roughly 29 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 540 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 29 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 29 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. God of War Ragnarök offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 540 (4GB) 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 12 | 29 |
| 1440p | 7 | 17 |
| 4K | 4 | 10 |

Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Shadow Quality and Reflection Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
