Best Stellar Blade settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Stellar Blade runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 27FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 3GB of VRAM, and Stellar Blade is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 27 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. With only 3GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Stellar Blade 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.
