Best Gothic 1 Remake settings for the AMD RX 540 (4GB) (2026)
On a AMD RX 540 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Gothic 1 Remake runs at roughly 19 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 8FPS 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 Gothic 1 Remake is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 19 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 19 FPS at 1080p and 12 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. Gothic 1 Remake offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 540 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Gothic 1 Remake 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.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS support. On this engine upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up — turn it on first for a big FPS boost.
Ray-Traced Lumen LightingOffsaves FPS
UE5’s Lumen global illumination — gorgeous, natural lighting across the Khorinis valley, but the single most demanding option here. Pair it with upscaling, or keep it Off on mid-range cards for a large FPS gain.
View DistanceLow+13% FPS
How far the open world renders in full detail. Heavy, and it leans on the CPU too — lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant cliffs and buildings.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic across the colony while running noticeably faster.
Vegetation / FoliageLow+10% FPS
Density of the grass, trees and undergrowth that blanket the valley. Costly — Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving in motion.
Effects QualityLow+7% FPS
Magic, fire and weather particles. Drops most during spell-heavy fights — exactly when you want the frames.
Post ProcessingLow+6% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows where surfaces meet. Subtle — a safe setting to lower.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic to avoid stutter.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground and path textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
