Can the RTX 6070 Run Star Wars Outlaws at 60 FPS? Settings Guide

Quick Answer

Yes, the RTX 6070 can run Star Wars Outlaws at a consistent 60 FPS at 1080p. With optimised settings - High preset with Ray Tracing set to Medium and DLSS Quality mode enabled - most systems achieve 65-85 FPS at 1080p, well above the 60 FPS target.

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the more demanding open-world titles of the generation, with Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment leaning hard into ray tracing for its environmental lighting. The RTX 6070, sitting in the upper-mid range of Nvidia's Ada Lovelace successor architecture, handles the game comfortably at 1080p with the right settings dialled in. Here is what to configure for smooth, consistent performance.

RTX 6070 Performance Baseline at 1080p

Out of the box on the High preset with ray tracing enabled at its default setting, the RTX 6070 delivers approximately 58-72 FPS at 1080p depending on scene complexity. Dense urban areas in Mirogana and areas with heavy NPC traffic push the lower end; open terrain and space sequences run higher.

Enabling DLSS Super Resolution at Quality mode (renders at 67% of output resolution, upscales to 1080p) pushes that range comfortably to 75-95 FPS, which gives you substantial headroom above 60 FPS with the GPU doing real-time upscaling work.

For the RTX 6070, DLSS Quality at 1080p produces output that is visually indistinguishable from native in most game scenes - particularly in motion. This is the recommended configuration for most players targeting smooth 60+ FPS gameplay.

Optimal Settings for 60+ FPS

Start with the High preset as your base. Then adjust the following:

Ray Tracing: Drop from High to Medium. Ray traced reflections and global illumination at Medium still look substantially better than rasterised alternatives, and the performance recovery is significant - typically 15-20% frame rate improvement over Ray Tracing High.

DLSS: Set to Quality mode. Do not use Performance mode at 1080p - the resolution loss becomes visible, especially in fine detail like foliage and text in the game world.

Ambient Occlusion: Keep at High. This is GPU-efficient and contributes meaningfully to scene depth.

Shadow Quality: Reduce to Medium if you need extra headroom. Shadow rendering is CPU/GPU intensive in Outlaws' outdoor environments and a Medium setting is not visually jarring.

Motion Blur: Personal preference, but disabling it reduces the GPU load slightly and many players find it cleaner during fast movement.

CPU Pairing and System Requirements

The RTX 6070 at 1080p is susceptible to CPU bottlenecks in Star Wars Outlaws, which is known to be fairly CPU-hungry due to its open-world simulation. Pair it with at least a Ryzen 5 7600 or Intel Core i5-13600K equivalent. If you are running an older CPU like a Ryzen 5 3600, you may see CPU-side frame time spikes in busy areas regardless of GPU settings.

RAM configuration also matters: 16GB in dual-channel (2x8GB) is the minimum, and 32GB is recommended for Star Wars Outlaws which benefits from additional memory bandwidth for its streaming open world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Star Wars Outlaws support AMD FSR as an alternative to DLSS on the RTX 6070? A: Yes, Star Wars Outlaws supports both DLSS and FSR. On an RTX 6070, DLSS is the better choice as it uses dedicated Tensor core hardware on the GPU. FSR is the better fallback for AMD GPU users.

Q: Will the RTX 6070 handle Star Wars Outlaws at 1440p as well? A: At 1440p with DLSS Quality, the RTX 6070 delivers roughly 55-70 FPS on High settings with Ray Tracing at Medium - still playable but tighter on the 60 FPS target. Dropping to the Medium preset without ray tracing opens that up considerably.

Q: Is Ray Tracing worth enabling in Star Wars Outlaws on an RTX 6070? A: At Medium settings with DLSS enabled, yes - the visual improvement in lighting quality is noticeable and the performance cost is manageable. Turning it off entirely is only necessary if you are struggling to hit 60 FPS consistently after other optimisations.
