Best Pragmata settings for the AMD RX 540 (4GB) (2026)
On a AMD RX 540 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Pragmata runs at roughly 28 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 Pragmata is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 28 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 28 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. Pragmata 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Pragmata runs on Capcom's RE Engine, which ships with FSR and DLSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and lighting across the game's glossy sci-fi surfaces. Beautiful but the single heaviest setting - keep Off for high FPS, or pair with upscaling.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and draw distance. High is the value pick over Max.
Mesh QualityLow+7% FPS
Geometry detail on characters and the station environments. High looks great; Medium for frames.
Volumetric LightingLow+7% FPS
Atmospheric light shafts and haze - a real cost in the moody sci-fi corridors. Medium is a clean trade.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+5% FPS
Reflections on metal and glass when ray tracing is off. A small saving when disabled.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows that add depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Subsurface ScatteringOff+4% FPS
Realistic light through skin. Cheap; leave On for the close-up cutscenes.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture QualityMax-1% FPS
RE Engine textures are VRAM-hungry and the menu shows an estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Max, to avoid stutter.
