Quick Answer

To hit 60 fps in Expedition 33 at 1440p on the Arc B580, run High with XeSS Quality and turn down Lumen global illumination and high shadows. The Arc B580 (12GB) holds 60 fps at 1440p with these tweaks, and a 550W PSU powers the card comfortably.

Expedition 33 1440p Settings That Hit 60 fps

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leans on UE5's Lumen, so lowering global illumination and shadow quality gives the biggest frame-rate gains. For 60 fps at 1440p, start at High with XeSS Quality. The biggest frame-rate levers are Lumen global illumination and high shadows, so drop those one or two notches first. Turn off motion blur and depth of field, which cost performance for little visual gain. The Arc B580 is a budget card built on enough VRAM (12GB) for 1440p in this turn-based RPG.

Why Upscaling and Frame Pacing Matter

XeSS upscaling is the cleanest way to add frames without gutting image quality on the Arc B580. At 1440p for 60 fps, the Quality or Balanced XeSS mode keeps Expedition 33 sharp while lifting the frame rate. Cap your frame rate a few frames below 60 to keep frame pacing even, which feels smoother than an uncapped rate bouncing around the target.

SA Build Pairing and PSU

Pair the Arc B580 with a Ryzen 5 7600 or Core i5-12400F and 16GB RAM so the CPU never holds back Expedition 33; 32GB helps if you stream or keep many apps open. A 550W PSU powers the Arc B580 with headroom, and a single 8-pin connector covers most models in this class. At Evetech the Arc B580 sits in the budget GPU tier, making it a sensible match for 1440p gaming in South Africa.

FAQ

Can the Arc B580 run Expedition 33 at 1440p 60 fps?

Yes, with tuned settings. Running High with XeSS Quality and lowering Lumen global illumination and high shadows lets the Arc B580 holds 60 fps at 1440p in Expedition 33.

What settings give the biggest frame-rate boost in Expedition 33?

Lowering Lumen global illumination and high shadows gives the largest gains, and turning off motion blur and depth of field adds a few frames for little visual loss. XeSS upscaling does the rest.

What PSU does a Arc B580 build need?

A 550W PSU powers the Arc B580 comfortably with headroom for the rest of the build. Most models use a single 8-pin power connector in this class.

TIP

Pro Tip

Lower Lumen global illumination and high shadows first and enable XeSS on the Arc B580; that combination is the fastest route to 60 fps in Expedition 33 at 1440p without flattening the image.
