Best Phantom Blade Zero settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Phantom Blade Zero runs at roughly 79 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 59FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Phantom Blade Zero is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 79 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 59 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 97 FPS at 1080p and 79 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Phantom Blade Zero supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti 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. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Phantom Blade Zero 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.

💡 Phantom Blade Zero: Unreal Engine 5 - turn off ray tracing and lower Lumen GI first for high frame rates.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
Phantom Blade Zero (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Effectively required at 1440p and up - enable it first.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced lighting and reflections. Stunning but brutally heavy on a fast action game - keep Off unless you have DLSS + Frame Gen on.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic is a big saving with little visible loss.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic while running faster.
Reflections (Lumen)Highbaseline
Reflections on blades, water and wet surfaces. Medium/High is plenty.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Combat sparks and ability effects - a real cost in this fast, flashy combat. High keeps fights smooth.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Grass and plant density. Mild visual loss when lowered.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Motion blur, bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Epic for 12GB+.
