Recommended Build for Expedition 33 at R15,000 in SA

At R15,000 you reach the realistic entry point for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a demanding UE5 RPG. A balanced RTX 5060 build runs it smoothly at 1080p with DLSS doing the heavy lifting.

Quick Answer

For a R15,000 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 build, target an RTX 5060 (around R7,500), a Ryzen 5 7600 (around R4,000), 16GB DDR5-6000, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. That delivers a steady 60 fps at 1080p High with DLSS in the Unreal Engine 5 RPG.

The R15,000 Component Breakdown

Build around an RTX 5060 (around R7,500) for DLSS, a Ryzen 5 7600 (around R4,000), 16GB DDR5-6000 (around R1,300), a 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, a B650 board, and a 550W 80+ Bronze PSU. This keeps the GPU fed for a smooth 1080p experience.

Performance Targets

Expect a steady 60 fps at 1080p High with DLSS Quality and Lumen on Medium. The game's painterly UE5 environments are GPU-heavy, so DLSS is the key to consistent frames. Dropping a couple of settings can push toward 75 fps for high-refresh play.

SA Buyer Notes

At R15,000, 16GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD are the right floor; spend the budget on the GPU since Expedition 33 is GPU-bound. All parts are stocked at Evetech with local warranty. This build also handles other 1080p AAA titles well.

FAQ

Can a R15,000 PC run Expedition 33 at 60 fps?

Yes. An RTX 5060 build holds a steady 60 fps at 1080p High with DLSS Quality and Lumen on Medium. This is the realistic entry point for a smooth experience in the UE5 RPG.

Why is DLSS important for this game?

Expedition 33's Unreal Engine 5 lighting is heavy, so DLSS upscaling keeps frame rates consistent without sacrificing much visual quality. The RTX 5060's DLSS support is a key reason to pick it here.

Is 16GB RAM enough?

Yes, 16GB DDR5-6000 is fine for the game at 1080p. Put any spare budget into the GPU rather than extra RAM, since Expedition 33 is more GPU-sensitive.
