Best Phantom Blade Zero settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Phantom Blade Zero runs at roughly 63 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 64FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Phantom Blade Zero is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 186 FPS at 1080p and 112 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Phantom Blade Zero supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super 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. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Phantom Blade Zero, so textures can stay maxed. 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.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Epic for 12GB+.
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.
