Best Shadow of the Tomb Raider settings for the AMD RX 590 (2026)

On a AMD RX 590 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 46FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 590 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 46 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 54 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. Shadow of the Tomb Raider offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 590 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.
