Hollow Knight Silksong 1440p 144fps settings on RTX 5070 need stable frame pacing first. Use the SA tested target as a tuning goal while checking display refresh, driver state, thermals, sync options, and graphics settings.
Yes — the GeForce RTX 5070 comfortably holds 144 fps at 1440p in Hollow Knight: Silksong. It's a 2D/stylised title, so the GPU spends most frames idling; your bigger jobs are matching the in-game frame cap to your monitor and turning off V-Sync that fights a high refresh.
Lock the in-game frame limit to 144 fps and disable V-Sync, then enable a low-latency mode in the NVIDIA App (or GeForce control panel). Hollow Knight: Silksong never stresses the GeForce RTX 5070 at 1440p, so the wins come from frame pacing, not raw settings. Leave texture and effects quality maxed — they cost almost nothing here — and only the frame cap and refresh sync decide whether you feel a smooth 144 fps.
With Hollow Knight: Silksong you rarely need to drop anything visual. If you still see dips below 144 fps, the culprit is usually a background overlay, a browser eating VRAM, or a stale driver — not the GPU. Update through the NVIDIA App (or GeForce control panel), close capture tools for one clean run, and confirm Windows is on the High Performance power plan.
To feed 144 fps you want a Ryzen 5 7600 or Core i5-13400F and at least 16GB of DDR5 — below that, 1% lows sag even when the average looks fine. Match the card to a 1440p panel: a 165Hz 1080p screen for the 1440p targets, or a 1440p high-refresh monitor if you're sitting on the GeForce RTX 5070. Evetech bundles GPUs, CPUs and monitors locally, so you can size the whole loop to your 144 fps goal in one basket.
Yes. On a tuned preset with the frame cap set to 144 fps, the GeForce RTX 5070 holds the target with headroom at 1440p in this title. The main risk to that figure is an unpatched driver or an overlay stealing frames, not the card itself.
No. Hollow Knight: Silksong is light enough that the GeForce RTX 5070 runs 144 fps at 1440p natively, so you can leave DLSS off and keep full native sharpness. Only switch it on if you later push to a much higher refresh target.
the GeForce RTX 5070 sits around R14,000 as a mid-range card at Evetech, with stock and exact pricing shown live on the product page. Pair it with a Ryzen 5 or Core i5 and 16GB of RAM to hit the 144 fps figures above.
