Quick Answer

The RX 9070 XT runs Star Wars Outlaws at 1440p between 95 and 130 FPS on High settings with FSR Quality enabled, and around 70 to 85 FPS native at Ultra without upscaling. It's a clean 1440p card for this title and stays under the 250W mark in most scenes.

Real-world FPS across Outlaws' biggest zones

Kijimi back-alleys and tight interiors push the RX 9070 XT past 130 FPS at 1440p High with FSR Quality. The Toshara open-world plains drop into the 95 to 110 FPS range due to the dense foliage and volumetric lighting. Mirogana hub crowds with full NPC density sit around 100 FPS. Native 1440p Ultra without FSR pulls roughly 70 to 85 FPS, with rare dips into the 60s during sandstorm sequences. Frametime pacing is smooth, no shader compilation hitching after the initial warm-up run.

Optimal settings for the cleanest 1440p experience

Lock the global preset to High, then bump Texture Quality and Object Detail to Ultra since the RX 9070 XT's 16GB VRAM swallows that easily. Drop Volumetric Clouds to High, which alone reclaims around 8 to 12 FPS for almost no visual loss. Set Shadows to High, Ray Traced Reflections off, and Screen Space Reflections to High. Enable FSR Quality, not Balanced, for a sharper image at 1440p. Frame Generation is fine for cinematic exploration but disable it for combat where input latency matters.

Pairing the card with the rest of your build

The 9070 XT pairs best with a Ryzen 7 7700X or 9700X, a 750W 80+ Gold PSU, and a 1440p 180Hz panel. SA pricing on full 9070 XT gaming PCs lands within the bracket where you're getting genuine 1440p high-refresh play without overspending on a 5080-tier rig. Loadshedding is worth flagging here, a 1000VA UPS keeps long Outlaws sessions safe through Stage 4 cuts, and you avoid the corrupted save risk that hits open-world games hardest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Star Wars Outlaws need ray tracing on the RX 9070 XT?

No. Outlaws looks excellent with screen space reflections and the bake-quality global illumination at High. Ray tracing reflections cost roughly 18 to 22 FPS on the 9070 XT and the visual gain in this game is mostly noticeable in still screenshots, not gameplay.

Is FSR Quality or Balanced better at 1440p in Outlaws?

FSR Quality. The render resolution is high enough to keep foliage and the HUD elements crisp. Balanced introduces visible shimmer on Toshara grass and on Stormtrooper armour edges during cutscenes.

What FPS should I expect at 4K with the same card?

Roughly 55 to 70 FPS at 4K High with FSR Quality, and 40 to 50 native. The 9070 XT is happier at 1440p in this title, 4K is playable but you'll want Frame Generation on for the open zones.
