Best Until Dawn settings for the ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) (2026)

On a ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Until Dawn runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 35FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Until Dawn is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 35 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 43 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. Until Dawn offers ray tracing, but the ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Until Dawn at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	35	60
1440p	21	43
4K	12	24

💡 Until Dawn: Unreal Engine 5 remake - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off RT reflections and lower Lumen GI first.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
