On a AMD RX 7600S (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), The First Descendant runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7600S (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and The First Descendant is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPSwith 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 64 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 55 FPS at 4K. The First Descendant supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 7600S (laptop, 8GB) 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. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The First Descendant at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 65 | 64 |
| 1440p | 39 | 60 |
| 4K | 22 | 55 |
