Best The Outer Worlds 2 settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 77 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 58FPS 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 The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 77 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 58 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 96 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 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 The Outer Worlds 2, 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.

💡 The Outer Worlds 2: Unreal Engine 5 - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
The Outer Worlds 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first - UE5 is heavy.
Hardware Ray Tracing (Lumen)Offsaves FPS
Switches Lumen lighting to hardware ray tracing for nicer reflections - a big cost. Keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic frees real FPS.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Lumen reflections on water and metal. High is a clean trade.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Weapon and ability effects. Lowering smooths busy fights.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and scenery density on the colony worlds. A real cost outdoors.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Screen EffectsHighbaseline
Post-process screen effects - bloom, depth of field and grading. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
