On a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 runs at roughly 8 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 3FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 8 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 8 FPS at 1080p and 5 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 3 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 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 | 3 | 8 |
| 1440p | 2 | 5 |
| 4K | 1 | 3 |
