Best Dragon Age: The Veilguard settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Dragon Age: The Veilguard runs at roughly 104 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 105FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 104 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 173 FPS at 1080p and 104 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 80 FPS at 4K. Dragon Age: The Veilguard supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 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.

Upscaling — DLSSOff
Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Frostbite) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. A free FPS boost on a well-optimised game.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / AO)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and ambient occlusion. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
Global lighting and bounce detail - one of the heaviest settings. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade.
Level of DetailHighbaseline
Geometry detail and draw distance on characters and the world. High looks great; Medium for frames.
Visual Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and combat effects. Lowering smooths the flashy battles.
Volumetric LightingHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. High is a clean trade.
Sky QualityHighbaseline
Sky and cloud detail. Medium is plenty in a mostly-ground-level game.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. Medium is plenty without ray tracing.
Strand HairOffbaseline
Physics-based strand hair on companions. A small cost - off is fine.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
