Best God of War (2018) settings for the AMD RX 5600 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 5600 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), God of War (2018) runs at roughly 88 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 89FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5600 XT is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and God of War (2018) is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 88 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 88 FPS at 1080p and 71 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Reflections on water, ice and metal. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Ambient OcclusionOriginalbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Original/High is plenty.
Atmospherics QualityOriginalbaseline
Volumetric fog and god rays across the Nine Realms. High is a clean trade.
Model QualityOriginalbaseline
Geometry detail on Kratos and the world. High looks great; lower for frames.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp into the distance - essentially free, use 16x.
