Best The Last of Us Part I settings for the AMD RX 7800 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 7800 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), The Last of Us Part I runs at roughly 81 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 82FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and The Last of Us Part I is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 81 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 135 FPS at 1080p and 81 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 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.

4K	46	62

💡 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.

Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline

Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.

Dynamic Objects QualityHighbaseline

Detail on moving objects and debris. Modest cost; High looks best.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. Cheap; leave it On for a clean image.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps angled surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
