Best Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2060 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2060 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 42FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2060 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 42 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 41 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS
Expedition 33 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first - UE5 is heavy.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global IlluminationHighbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the single heaviest setting. High over Epic is a big FPS win for almost no visible change.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Epic.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces in the dreamlike world. High is a clean trade.
ShadingHighbaseline
Material and lighting shading detail. High is a clean, cheap trade over Epic.
Visual EffectsHighbaseline
Combat particles and ability effects. Lowering smooths the flashy turn-based battles.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and grass density. A real cost in the open painted landscapes.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, depth of field and the painterly bloom effects. Cheap; set to taste.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far full detail renders before fading. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
