Performance Impact of Outlaw Graphics Preset in Star Wars Outlaws

The hidden “Outlaw” preset is hidden for a reason — it has a significant impact on performance. During our testing with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 1080p, the frame rate dropped from 59 FPS on the Ultra preset to 25 FPS on the Outlaw preset.

Similar to how “Unobtanium” graphics in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is designed with future-proofing in mind, the Outlaw setting within our game aims to provide this functionality. High-end players can enjoy the Ultra setting, while the optimized setting will deliver an excellent gaming experience for most users.

The “Outlaw” setting is ideal for individuals aiming to produce breathtaking images in Photo Mode or players with graphics cards that outperform those commonly found today, such as an RTX 4090. However, this preset still strains even a top-tier card like the RTX 4090 to maintain 60 FPS at resolutions of 4K and 1440p. If by chance you possess a 4090 and choose to play at 1080p, you might exceed the 60 FPS threshold in “Star Wars Outlaws” with the “Outlaw” preset.
