Best Dragon’s Dogma 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Dragon’s Dogma 2 runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 91 FPS at 1080p and 74 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Dragon’s Dogma 2 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 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.

💡 Dragon’s Dogma 2: CPU-bound in NPC-filled towns — graphics settings barely change city FPS.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
Dragon's Dogma 2 (RE Engine) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. It helps, but towns are CPU-bound regardless.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Replaces standard ambient-occlusion lighting with a ray-traced effect. A real cost for a subtle gain - Off is fine, especially since towns are already CPU-bound.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade.
Mesh QualityHighbaseline
Character and world geometry detail. High looks best; Medium for frames.
Grass / VegetationHighbaseline
Grass and plant density in the wilds. A real cost outdoors.
Screen Space ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Medium is plenty.
Volumetric FogHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. A solid, low-risk saving.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingFXAA+TAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. FXAA+TAA is the cleanest option and still cheap.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
