Best A Plague Tale: Requiem settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 74 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 56FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 162 FPS at 1080p and 97 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 74 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 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. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 A Plague Tale: Requiem: The rat-swarm scenes are very demanding - Effects Quality matters most there.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
A Plague Tale: Requiem supports DLSS and FSR plus frame generation. A big help - the rat scenes are very demanding.
Ray-Traced Ambient OcclusionOffsaves FPS
Adds ray-traced contact shadows. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow MapsHighbaseline
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Drives the thousands of on-screen rats and fire - the heaviest setting in the swarm scenes. High smooths them a lot.
Volumetric LightsHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and god rays - core to the look but a real cost. High is a clean trade.
Screen-Space ReflectionsLowbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Low is plenty in the grim countryside.
Draw DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world and grass render at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
