There is nothing quite like exploring Thedas in buttery-smooth high framerates 🚀. If you recently grabbed AMD's latest powerhouse, you are probably wondering how to get 144Hz in Dragon Age on RX 9070 XT. Pushing those frames at 1440p or 4K requires a bit of tweaking. Let's break down exactly how South African gamers can optimise their settings for maximum performance.

Unleashing the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

The RX 9070 XT is an absolute beast of a card. Built on next-gen architecture, it handles rasterisation effortlessly. But modern RPGs are visually dense. To hit that magic 144fps mark, you need to ensure your GPU is running at its absolute peak.

If you are still running an older card and want to prepare for the latest titles, browsing the newest graphics cards for sale is your first step. For those already wielding the 9070 XT... it is time to dig into the settings menu.

Crucial In-Game Settings to Tweak 🔧

You cannot just crank everything to "Ultra" and expect 144Hz, even with top-tier hardware. To achieve those high refresh rates, you need to be smart about your visual compromises.

First... drop Volumetric Lighting and Shadows from Ultra to High. You will barely notice the difference in colour or depth, but your framerate will thank you.

Second... lean into AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution. Setting FSR to "Quality" mode renders the game at a slightly lower resolution and upscales it brilliantly. This is a staple configuration used in many of our best gaming PC deals to ensure customers get premium performance straight out of the box.

TIP

Framerate Pro Tip ⚡

Always enable AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) in your Adrenalin software. This frame generation tech works wonders in single-player RPGs, easily pushing your framerate past the 144Hz monitor refresh rate without sacrificing visual clarity.

Do Not Let Your CPU Bottleneck the Action

Your graphics card can only draw frames as fast as your processor can prepare them. If you pair a high-end GPU with an ageing CPU, you will experience stuttering in crowded cities or during heavy magical combat.

If you want to avoid the hassle of balancing components yourself, checking out pre-built PC deals ensures you get a rig where the processor and graphics card are perfectly matched for high refresh rate gaming.

Taking High Framerates on the Go ✨

Desktop power is great, but what if you travel or face loadshedding? Modern mobile hardware is catching up fast. While a desktop setup is the gold standard for 4K gaming, you can still experience incredible RPG gameplay on the move.

There are plenty of powerful laptops for sale in South Africa that offer stunning 144Hz displays and robust cooling for extended gaming sessions during grid outages.

Final Tweaks for South African Gamers

Hitting that 144Hz sweet spot is all about balance. Keep your drivers updated... monitor your temperatures... and make sure your RAM is running at its rated EXPO speeds.

Building a rig capable of this performance does not have to drain your wallet either. You can often save thousands of ZAR by keeping an eye on our weekly specials to upgrade your RAM, fast NVMe storage, or cooling solutions.
