Best Sea of Thieves settings for the AMD RX 7900 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 7900 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Sea of Thieves runs at roughly 93 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 94FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7900 XT is a high-end graphics card with 20GB of VRAM, and Sea of Thieves is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 4K — about 93 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 227 FPS at 1080p and 163 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 93 FPS at 4K. Its 20GB of VRAM is plenty for Sea of Thieves, 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.

Upscaling — FSROff
Sea of Thieves supports FSR and a render-scale slider. The biggest GPU-side lever.
Texture DetailUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Water DetailHighbaseline
The famous ocean simulation - the showpiece and one of the heaviest settings. High is a strong trade over Ultra.
Shadow DetailHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Model DetailHighbaseline
Geometry detail on ships, islands and players. High looks great; Medium for frames.
Lighting DetailHighbaseline
Lighting and reflection detail on the water and sky. High is a clean trade.
Particle Effects QualityHighbaseline
Cannon smoke, splashes and explosions. Lowering smooths sea battles.
