On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Dragon Age: The Veilguard runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 61FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 50 FPS at 4K. Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) 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 | 61 | 60 |
| 1440p | 36 | 60 |
| 4K | 21 | 50 |
