Best God of War Ragnarök settings for the AMD RX 9070 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 9070 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), God of War Ragnarök runs at roughly 77 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 78FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 77 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 137 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 77 FPS at 4K. God of War Ragnarök supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 9070 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 God of War Ragnarök, 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
God of War Ragnarok supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A well-optimised port but demanding at 4K - upscaling is the biggest single gain.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced shadows and reflections - prettier but costs around 15-25 percent FPS. Keep Off unless you have headroom.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM - keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot - Ultra adds little for a real cost.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Surface and water reflections. Moderate cost; High is fine for most scenes.
Atmospherics QualityHighbaseline
Fog, mist and god-rays. A solid FPS saving with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is plenty for gameplay clarity.
Model QualityHighbaseline
Character and world geometry detail. High looks great without the Ultra cost.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Depth of Field / Motion BlurOnbaseline
Cinematic post-processing bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.
