The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end card with 16GB of VRAM, and Dark Souls III is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 60 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 60 | 60 |
| 1440p | 60 | 60 |
| 4K | 60 | 60 |
At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Dark Souls III. Dark Souls III doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
