On a AMD RX 7800 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Until Dawn runs at roughly 75 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 77FPS 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 Until Dawn is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 75 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 126 FPS at 1080p and 75 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. Until Dawn supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 7800 XT 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 Until Dawn, 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 128 | 126 |
| 1440p | 77 | 75 |
| 4K | 43 | 66 |
