Best Graphics Settings for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on PC
Players can find all the graphics settings forClair Obscur Expedition 33under one tab, making iteasier to tweak all the settings simultaneously. However, each setting is popular under a particular category, and we’ll see some good FPS gains by optimizing the graphics settings under Rendering. So, here are all the best settings for max FPS.
Quick Preset
Custom
We’ll tweak all the settings to make the game more optimized, so no need to choose from a pre-determined preset here.
Scaling Type
DLSS/XESS
Players using Nvidia RTX GPUs can benefit from the DLSS scaling tech here. Sadly, there isn’t an FSR option, which is a great option for AMD and other GPUs. So, non-RTX players will have to use Intel’s XESS until FSR possibly gets added later on.
Scaling Mode
Quality
Although balanced is the way to go in most situations, the image quality becomes quite messy in some scenes with anything lower than quality.
-
Vsync
Off
Clair Obscur Expedition 33requires players to have impeccable timingwhen it comes to parrying and blocking, and Vsync will only add input latency.
Display Mode
Fullscreen
Fullscreen works flawlessly, but borderless fullscreen works just as well. It’s only a matter of personal preference.
Up to the player’s personal preference
Post Process
Motion Blur
Turn all of these on except motion blur, as it distorts the visual quality of the game.
Anti-Aliasing
High
If you’re using an upscaler, it’ll handle most of the smoothing of edges.
Shadows
Medium
One of the higher-cost settings, medium, is the best preset for this.
Reflection
It only becomes active when you’re around reflective surfaces or water bodies. Best to leave it at medium to avoid FPS drops in the aforementioned areas.
Epic
It does not impact FPS, but will make the quality of previous post-processing effects a lot better.
Visual Effects
The game has a high use of visual effects that can cause FPS drops randomly in intense fights. Players can drop it to medium if their performance is tanking during combat.
Foliage
Controls the textures for grass and other greenery in the environment.
These optimized settings forClair Obscur Expedition 33were tested on a PC with an Intel i9-14900HX, Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU, and 32GB RAM. TheFPS were averaging around the 75-80 range, with 1% lows being at 50 FPS. Considering the current state of optimization for the title, these are pretty playable framerates. The FPS drops issue was not entirely fixed, but became better and wasn’t noticeable in-game.
