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.
