Best Squad settings for the AMD RX 560 (4GB) (2026)
On a AMD RX 560 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Squad runs at roughly 45 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 17FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 560 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Squad is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is playable at 1080p — about 45 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 17 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 45 FPS at 1080p and 27 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 15 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Squad: 100-player Unreal Engine 5 mil-sim - heavily CPU-bound in big battles; upscaling helps the GPU side but won't fix a CPU limit.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Squad’s UE5 build supports TSR, DLSS and FSR. The biggest GPU-side FPS gain — but note that on full 100-player servers your CPU is often the real limit.
View DistanceLow+14% FPS
How far terrain, vehicles and players render across these huge maps. The heaviest setting, and it leans on your CPU too — lowering it helps most in big battles.
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Shadow resolution and range over wide open ground. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference at combat distances.
Foliage QualityLow+10% FPS
Density of grass and bushes. Costly on FPS — and many competitive players lower it anyway, since tall grass at lower settings stops hiding enemies.
Effects QualityLow+8% FPS
Smoke, explosions and muzzle flash. Smoke in particular tanks FPS in firefights — lowering it keeps you steady when it matters.
Post ProcessingLow+6% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a clean, cheap win and arguably gives a clearer competitive image.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows in corners and under objects. Subtle outdoors — a safe thing to lower.
Anti-AliasingLow+3% FPS
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; lower it a notch if you need a few extra frames.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 560 (4GB) averages around 45 FPS at 1080p in Squad — up from about 17 FPS with everything on High.
Can the AMD RX 560 (4GB) run Squad at 1440p?

What are the best Squad settings for the AMD RX 560 (4GB)?
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like View Distance and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
