On a NVIDIA RTX 5060 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Sea of Thieves runs at roughly 118 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 119FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5060 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Sea of Thieves is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 118 FPSwith 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 118 FPS at 1080p and 71 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
