The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end card with 16GB of VRAM, and The First Descendant is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 84 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 85 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 142 | 140 |
| 1440p | 85 | 84 |
| 4K | 48 | 64 |
At 1080p expect around 140 FPS, at 1440p about 84 FPS, and at 4K roughly 64 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for The First Descendant. The First Descendant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
