Best Shadow of the Tomb Raider settings for the AMD RX 5700 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 5700 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs at roughly 95 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 96FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5700 XT is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 95 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 95 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Shadow of the Tomb Raider offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5700 XT isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Well-optimised with DLSS; ray-traced shadows are the heaviest option - turn them off first.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Supports DLSS. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially with ray-traced shadows on.
Ray-Traced ShadowsOffsaves FPS
Softer, more accurate shadows — heavy for a subtle gain. Turn it off first when chasing frames.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Standard (non-RT) shadow resolution and range. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Ambient OcclusionBTAObaseline
Soft contact shading. BTAO is the cheap option; HBAO+ looks a touch better for more cost.
Level of DetailHighbaseline
How detailed distant geometry stays. High avoids pop-in cheaply.
