Sea of Thieves at 1440p on an RX 7800 XT is a perfect match: 60fps is a low bar here, and the card pushes well beyond it on maxed settings. SA gamers get a sharp, fluid pirate experience without touching upscaling.
Quick Answer
At 1440p, the RX 7800 XT runs Sea of Thieves at roughly 100 to 140fps on the High preset, so a 60fps target leaves huge headroom. Run native 1440p with everything on High; the card's 16GB VRAM and grunt make a 60fps cap purely a power-saving choice.
Dialing In 1440p Settings
Use the High preset with Shadows High, Water Detail High, and Render Quality at 100 percent for native sharpness; the RX 7800 XT does not need FSR at 1440p. If you want to maximise frames for a 144Hz panel, you can leave it uncapped for that 100-to-140fps range. Keep AMD Adrenalin updated, since Sea of Thieves has benefited from driver-level smoothing of frame pacing.
Why This Pairing Works In SA
The RX 7800 XT is one of the better value 1440p cards stocked at Evetech, and Sea of Thieves barely stresses it, leaving capacity for heavier titles. Pair it with a Ryzen 5 7600 or Ryzen 7 7700, 32GB DDR5-6000, and a 650W 80+ Gold PSU for the ~263W draw. A 1440p 144Hz IPS panel (from roughly R4,500 locally) is the natural companion.
