Best A Plague Tale: Requiem settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 71FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 70 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 117 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 6800 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for A Plague Tale: Requiem, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 A Plague Tale: Requiem: The rat-swarm scenes are very demanding - Effects Quality matters most there.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
A Plague Tale: Requiem supports DLSS and FSR plus frame generation. A big help - the rat scenes are very demanding.
Ray-Traced Ambient OcclusionOffsaves FPS
Adds ray-traced contact shadows. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow MapsHighbaseline
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Drives the thousands of on-screen rats and fire - the heaviest setting in the swarm scenes. High smooths them a lot.
Volumetric LightsHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and god rays - core to the look but a real cost. High is a clean trade.
Screen-Space ReflectionsLowbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Low is plenty in the grim countryside.
Draw DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world and grass render at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
