Wuthering Waves has rapidly grown into one of the most visually striking action RPGs in the gacha genre, with its open-world Unreal Engine environments and fluid combat effects placing real demands on PC hardware at higher resolutions. The RTX 5060 Ti is NVIDIA's mid-range entry point in the 50 series, and 1440p is its intended performance resolution. Here is what to expect when running Wuthering Waves at 1440p on this card.

Quick Answer

The RTX 5060 Ti handles Wuthering Waves at 1440p with ease, delivering 110–140 FPS at Ultra High settings without DLSS. Enabling DLSS 4 Quality mode pushes frame rates to 160–190 FPS, making the game extremely smooth on 144Hz or 165Hz displays. There is substantial headroom even for ultra-high refresh rate monitors at this resolution.

Benchmark Results at 1440p 🔧

At 1440p with all settings at their maximum (Ultra High preset), the RTX 5060 Ti averages 112–138 FPS across Huanglong city areas and the Port Velan exploration zones. GPU usage sits at 88–95%, indicating the card is being utilised efficiently without thermal throttling at typical ambient temperatures. Combat scenarios with multiple particle effects and environmental interactions see frame rates dip to 95–105 FPS at their most demanding, still well above the 60 FPS baseline. 1% lows remain above 80 FPS throughout standard gameplay.

These are strong numbers that confirm Wuthering Waves at 1440p Ultra is well within the RTX 5060 Ti's comfort zone at stock settings, before any upscaling is applied.

DLSS 4 Impact at 1440p 💡

Enabling DLSS 4 Quality mode at 1440p (internal render at approximately 853p, upscaled to 1440p) delivers a dramatic frame rate improvement. Averages climb to 162–195 FPS at Ultra High settings, with 1% lows consistently above 120 FPS. Image quality in Quality mode is excellent for a game of Wuthering Waves' visual style - the clean linework and environmental detail hold up well through the upscaling process. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is available on the RTX 5060 Ti and pushes displayed frame rates beyond 240 FPS at this resolution, which saturates any current monitor completely.

For most SA gamers with 144Hz or 165Hz displays, running Ultra High with DLSS 4 Quality is the recommended configuration - it delivers maximum smoothness with no perceptible quality compromise.

Optimal Settings for 1440p ⚡

For a 165Hz+ display targeting maximum smoothness:

  • Preset: Ultra High
  • Anti-Aliasing: DLSS 4 Quality
  • Shadow Detail: Ultra High (low GPU cost in this engine)
  • Effects Detail: Ultra High
  • Character Detail: Ultra High
  • Environment Detail: Ultra High
  • Frame Rate Cap: Uncapped or 165

For a locked 60 FPS profile on a standard 60Hz display:

  • All settings at Ultra High, no DLSS needed, frame cap at 60 FPS. The RTX 5060 Ti will cruise at this target with minimal GPU load, which also keeps temperatures and fan noise low.

Pair the RTX 5060 Ti with fast NVMe SSD storage to ensure Wuthering Waves' open-world streaming loads quickly between zones and during fast travel.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Q: Does Wuthering Waves support DLSS 4 on RTX 5060 Ti? A: Yes, DLSS 4 including Multi Frame Generation is supported on the RTX 5060 Ti. The implementation in Wuthering Waves is well-optimised and delivers clean results at Quality and Balanced modes.

Q: Is the RTX 5060 Ti overkill for Wuthering Waves at 1440p? A: For the game's current graphical demands, yes - the RTX 5060 Ti has significant headroom at 1440p. This headroom becomes valuable as the game expands content and adds more graphically intensive areas, and also gives you strong performance in other, more demanding titles.
