Stellar Blade 1080p 60fps Settings on RTX 5070

Quick Answer

Yes, the RTX 5070 comfortably clears 60fps in Stellar Blade at 1080p. With a balanced preset and DLSS on Quality you will see headroom well above 60fps, so this card (250W, 12GB) is more than enough for the target.

Settings that actually move frame rate in Stellar Blade

Stellar Blade runs on Unreal Engine 4, so the biggest frame-rate levers are screen-space reflections, shadow resolution, ambient occlusion, motion blur. For a 60fps 1080p target on the RTX 5070, set the overall preset to High rather than Ultra, then drop shadow resolution and reflection quality one notch each — those two alone can return 12-20fps without a visible quality loss at normal viewing distance. Leave texture quality at the highest your 12GB frame buffer allows, since textures cost VRAM, not GPU compute, and 12GB is plenty for 1080p here.

Headroom and where to spend it on the RTX 5070

Because the RTX 5070 clears 60fps in Stellar Blade at 1080p with room to spare, you can push quality back up rather than chase higher numbers. Return shadows and reflections to High, leave DLSS on Quality for cleaner image stability, and you will still sit above 60fps. If you later move to a higher-refresh panel, DLSS 3 Frame Generation gives you a path to far higher frame rates without a GPU change.

SA buyer note for a Stellar Blade build

A fast action character-action game with dense post-processing like this is GPU-bound, so a balanced six-core or higher CPU (a Ryzen 5 or Core i5) keeps the RTX 5070 fed. At Evetech the RTX 5070 sits in our current Radeon/GeForce stock; pair it with a 1080p 144Hz panel for the best value match to a 60fps goal. Make sure your case has front-to-back airflow — a 250W card in a cramped chassis will thermal-throttle long before the GPU itself runs out of performance.

FAQ

Can the RTX 5070 hit 60fps in Stellar Blade at native 1080p?

Yes — at native 1080p the RTX 5070 stays above 60fps with a High preset. The 12GB buffer is not the limit at 1080p; GPU compute on effects is.

Which setting should I drop first to gain frames?

Lower reflection quality and shadow resolution one step each before touching anything else. In Unreal Engine 4 titles those two effects are the heaviest per-frame cost and the least visible change at 1080p.

Does the RTX 5070 need a strong CPU for Stellar Blade?

No — Stellar Blade is GPU-limited, so a modern Ryzen 5 or Core i5 is enough to feed the RTX 5070. Spend your budget on the GPU and a 60Hz-capable monitor rather than a high-end CPU.
