Best The Last of Us Part I settings for the AMD RX 6900 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 6900 XT (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), The Last of Us Part I runs at roughly 80 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 81FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6900 XT is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and The Last of Us Part I is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 80 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 133 FPS at 1080p and 80 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for The Last of Us Part I, 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 Last of Us Part I: VRAM-hungry — on 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSROff

The Last of Us Part I supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A strong GPU-side boost on a demanding, VRAM-hungry port.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

This game is famously VRAM-hungry - Ultra textures want 10GB+. On 8GB cards, High avoids stutter.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.

Screen Space ReflectionsHighbaseline

Reflections on water and wet surfaces. High is a clean trade.

Bounced LightingOnbaseline

Extra indirect light bounce. A meaningful cost for a subtle, pretty effect.
