# Optimal Game Settings (RX 7900 XTX @ 4K)
## Cyberpunk 2077
- **Recommended:** 4K + FSR 2.1 Quality + RT Reflections only (High) + Frame Gen OFF
- **Why:** Path tracing too heavy on RDNA 3 (~20 FPS). Full RT (all options) = 37 avg. RT Reflections alone hits 57 avg — best visual-to-performance ratio. Wet streets, glass, neon reflections make Night City pop.
- **Expected FPS:** ~57 avg (can push to stable 60 with Volumetric Fog Medium + Cascaded Shadow Range Medium)
- **FSR note:** Use FSR 2.1, NOT FSR 3 (causes shimmering). Frame gen not useful on 60Hz TV.
- **Tested:** Feb 27, 2026 — user benchmarked multiple configs
## Hogwarts Legacy
- **Recommended:** Native 4K, RT off, Ultra settings
- **Why:** RT only adds subtle reflections/shadows — not worth the FPS cost. Native 4K clarity wins.
- **Expected FPS:** 60+ without RT
- **With RT:** ~35-45 FPS at 4K (not smooth enough)
