Best Honkai: Star Rail settings for the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Honkai: Star Rail runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 60FPS 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 Honkai: Star Rail is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with 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 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Honkai: Star Rail has no DLSS, but the Render Scale slider sets internal resolution — the biggest GPU lever. (Above 1.0 it supersamples and costs FPS.)
SFX QualityHighbaseline
Combat skill and Ultimate effects — the main FPS drain in busy fights. Medium smooths them.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution. Medium is barely different from High in this stylised game.
Light QualityMediumbaseline
Scene lighting detail. Medium is a fine, cheap saving.
Reflection QualityMediumbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny floors. Low is plenty during exploration.
Environment DetailHighbaseline
World and scenery detail. Medium reclaims frames in dense areas.
Character QualityHighbaseline
Character model detail. High is cheap on most GPUs.
Bloom EffectMediumbaseline
Glow around bright lights. Cheap — mostly personal taste.
Anti-AliasingOnbaseline
Edge smoothing. Cheap; leave on to reduce shimmer.
