RuneScape Dragonwilds is the latest entry in the series that puts players in an enchanted world full of mystical creatures like huge dragons. Even though the game doesn't have fancy graphical features like Ray Tracing, it's still pretty taxing on your PC. One of the major reasons for the low FPS is the game's status as an early access, which comes with several optimization issues. However, you can try the best settings for RuneScape Dragonwilds to get consistent FPS in your playthrough.

Best Graphics Settings for RuneScape Dragonwilds on PC
RuneScape Dragonwilds has a rather simplistic graphics settings menu without an option to tweak individual graphical components of the game. However, players can still adjust a few settings to boost their FPS. Simply head into the settings and then switch over to the video tab. Here, you'll find all the settings you need to change to make RuneScape Dragonwilds more optimized and fix low FPS.
|
Settings |
Best Preset |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Quality |
Medium |
The quality is the ultimate setting that will tune all the textures, shadows, level of detail, and other graphical components in the game. Switching to medium ensures a smooth gameplay experience with little quality loss. However, some players may experience texture pop-ins on this setting. |
|
Frame Rate Limit |
Dynamic |
RuneScape Dragonwilds allow players to set a fixed FPS limit till 140. If you have a monitor with a higher refresh rate, it's best to set the limit as Dynamic, allowing the game to choose the best FPS limit according to the display. |
|
Resolution |
Native |
Choosing anything lower than the native resolution will make textures blurry. |
|
Upscaling Mode |
DLSS or FSR |
If you have an Nvidia RTX 40 series GPU, it's best to select the DLSS option here. For all other Nvidia or AMD GPUs, the FSR option will work the best. Why are we selecting FSR for even Nvidia RTX 20 or 30 series cards? It will be explained ahead. |
|
Upscaling Quality |
Balanced |
Balanced looks quite good, and does not downgrade visuals too much compared to DLAA or quality. This can be bumped up once the game's optimization is improved. |
|
Display Mode |
Fullscreen |
For best performance, the exclusive fullscreen option works best. |
|
Sharpness |
Player's Preference |
While using the Balanced preset for upscaling, it's recommended that players at least apply 20% sharpening. |
|
Frame Generation |
Enabled |
For players on an RTX 40 series GPU, this option will turn on Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation. However, if you're playing on an RTX 30 series or below, an AMD GPU, or even Steam Deck, this option will auto-switch to AMD FSR Frame Generation. So, everyone will be able to boost their FPS with FG in RuneScape Dragonwilds. |
|
Vsync |
Disabled |
If the Frame Generation option is enabled, turning on Vsync too will introduce unnecessary input lag to the gameplay. |
So, these are the best settings for RuneScape Dragonwilds that players can use on PC to fix low FPS and boost performance. Using the settings above on a PC with an i9-14900HX CPU, Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU, and 32GB RAM, the FPS averaged around 85-90, with 1% lows being 70 FPS.
This is a much better result compared to cranking all settings to max and using the DLAA preset in the upscaler, which resulted in an average of 60 FPS performance with dips into the 30s.
Players noticing consistently degrading performance as they play RuneScape Dragonwilds might need to restart their game. This is one of the optimization problems that come with the early access of the game.
