Best God of War Ragnarök settings for the AMD RX 550 (4GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 550 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-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 550 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 29 FPS with 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 550 (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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

God of War Ragnarok supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A well-optimised port but demanding at 4K - upscaling is the biggest single gain.

Ray TracingOffsaves FPS

Ray-traced shadows and reflections - prettier but costs around 15-25 percent FPS. Keep Off unless you have headroom.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot - Ultra adds little for a real cost.

Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS

Surface and water reflections. Moderate cost; High is fine for most scenes.

Atmospherics QualityLow+7% FPS

Fog, mist and god-rays. A solid FPS saving with little visible loss.

Model QualityLow+7% FPS

Character and world geometry detail. High looks great without the Ultra cost.

Ambient OcclusionLow+6% FPS

Soft contact shadows. Medium is plenty for gameplay clarity.

Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.

Depth of Field / Motion BlurOff+2% FPS

Cinematic post-processing bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM - keep it High on 8GB+ cards.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps angled surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
