On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 39FPS 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 Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC.
