Best Stellar Blade settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Stellar Blade runs at roughly 65 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4080 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Stellar Blade is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 65 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 190 FPS at 1080p and 114 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Stellar Blade, 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.
