Best Gothic 1 Remake settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5090 (2026)
On a NVIDIA RTX 5090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Gothic 1 Remake runs at roughly 78 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 79FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 32GB of VRAM, and Gothic 1 Remake is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 78 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 195 FPS at 1080p and 137 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 78 FPS at 4K. Gothic 1 Remake supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5090 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. Its 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Gothic 1 Remake, 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.

💡 Gothic 1 Remake: Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen) - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off ray-traced lighting first for a big FPS gain.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS support. On this engine upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up — turn it on first for a big FPS boost.
Ray-Traced Lumen LightingOffsaves FPS
UE5’s Lumen global illumination — gorgeous, natural lighting across the Khorinis valley, but the single most demanding option here. Pair it with upscaling, or keep it Off on mid-range cards for a large FPS gain.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic to avoid stutter.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the open world renders in full detail. Heavy, and it leans on the CPU too — lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant cliffs and buildings.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic across the colony while running noticeably faster.
Vegetation / FoliageHighbaseline
Density of the grass, trees and undergrowth that blanket the valley. Costly — Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving in motion.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Magic, fire and weather particles. Drops most during spell-heavy fights — exactly when you want the frames.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows where surfaces meet. Subtle — a safe setting to lower.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground and path textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
