Can the RTX 5070 Run Star Wars Outlaws at 60 FPS? Settings Guide

Quick Answer

Yes, the RTX 5070 runs Star Wars Outlaws at 60+ FPS at 1440p high settings with DLSS Quality and frame generation enabled, and pushes 90+ FPS at 1080p high. At 4K you'll want DLSS Performance plus frame gen to lock 60 FPS on high settings reliably.

1080p Settings: Pure Smooth Sailing

At 1080p the RTX 5070 chews through Star Wars Outlaws on Ultra settings without breaking a sweat. Expect 90 to 110 FPS native, climbing past 130 with DLSS Quality enabled. Turn off frame generation here, raw latency matters more than peak FPS at this resolution for crisp blaster aim and chase sequences.

1440p Settings: The Sweet Spot

1440p high lands around 70 to 85 FPS native depending on the scene. Switch on DLSS Quality for crisp image upscaling and you'll see 95 to 110 FPS with very clean motion. Add frame generation for high-refresh monitors to push above 130 FPS comfortably. Ray-traced reflections cost about 18 percent, leave them on for the visual polish around water and shiny ship hulls.

4K Settings: DLSS Required

At 4K, DLSS Performance plus frame generation locks 60 FPS on high settings consistently. Drop a few sliders (volumetric clouds to medium, shadows to high) and you can hit 75 to 90 FPS in open zones. Outlaws scales well with upscaling tech, so 4K gameplay with a 5070 is genuinely viable on a 27 to 32 inch SA panel without an RTX 5080 budget.

SA Build Pairing Tips

Pair the RTX 5070 with a Ryzen 7 7700X or 9700X to avoid CPU bottlenecks at 1440p. 32GB DDR5 6000 keeps Outlaws happy alongside Discord, Chrome, and a Spotify tab. A 1500VA UPS helps you save mid-mission during loadshedding so a Stage 4 hit doesn't wipe your progress between auto-saves on the planet surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DLSS hurt image quality in Star Wars Outlaws?

DLSS Quality at 1440p looks near-identical to native, sometimes better thanks to improved temporal stability on foliage and small detail. DLSS Performance shows softer textures at distance but is fine for 4K play on a TV from couch distance.

Should I enable ray tracing on the RTX 5070?

Yes, especially reflections and global illumination. The 5070 has the headroom at 1440p with DLSS enabled. At 4K, ray tracing pushes you closer to the limit, drop reflections first if you need extra frames in busy scenes.

What's the price of an RTX 5070 in South Africa?

Pricing varies by AIB partner, but most ZAR pricing sits in the R15,000 to R18,000 range with full local warranty and same-day Joburg dispatch on stocked SKUs. Custom-cooled MSI and ASUS variants sit at the upper end of that band.
