Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Dune: Awakening (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required in the vast open desert.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and lighting. Heavy in a survival MMO - keep Off for steady frames in busy hubs.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic frees real FPS.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the open desert renders - a real cost given the huge sightlines on Arrakis. High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Sandstorms, blasts and weather effects - heavy during storms. Lowering smooths them a lot.
Foliage / Terrain DetailHighbaseline
Rock and sparse plant detail across the dunes. A small, safe gain when lowered.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, heat haze and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
