Quick Answer
For Stellar Blade at 1080p, an RTX 5060 or RX 7600 comfortably hits 80-120 FPS at High settings - this well-optimised action game does not need a high-end card at 1080p. These GPUs run roughly R5,000-R7,000 locally at Evetech. For a locked 144 FPS on a high-refresh 1080p panel, step up to an RTX 5060 Ti. Enable DLSS or FSR Quality only if you want extra headroom; native 1080p is fine here.
The right GPU for 1080p
Stellar Blade is optimised well, so 1080p High is achievable on mid-range hardware. An RX 7600 (8GB) or RTX 5060 (8GB) delivers 80-120 FPS at 1080p High. For a steady 144 FPS to match a high-refresh panel, an RTX 5060 Ti or RX 7700 XT gives the extra margin. A flagship card is wasted at 1080p in this title.
Settings and FPS targets
At 1080p High you can expect 90-120 FPS on an RTX 5060, with effects and shadows on High. Drop hair and reflection quality a notch if you want a locked 144 FPS on a high-refresh display. DLSS or FSR Quality adds 20-30% FPS as headroom, though native 1080p already runs smoothly on these cards, so upscaling is optional rather than required.
Pairing for 1080p
Match the GPU with a Ryzen 5 5600 or 7600 and 16GB RAM to avoid a CPU bottleneck. A 1080p 144Hz or 165Hz panel makes the most of the frames - one runs around R2,500-R4,000 at Evetech. All these parts are stocked locally, and a 550-650W PSU covers this GPU tier comfortably.
