Best RuneScape: Dragonwilds 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), RuneScape: Dragonwilds runs at roughly 72 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 53FPS 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 RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 72 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 53 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 72 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in RuneScape: Dragonwilds 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.
