Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a new turn-based RPG releasing today on 24 April, 2025. The game was developed using Unreal Engine 5 and features an enthralling gameplay that's a visual masterpiece. The lore-rich title is available on different platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows.
Being so visually oriented, the game is borderline demanding. It requires at least the RTX 3060 Ti to run at recommended settings. However, gamers who own the RTX 3080 should have no issues running the title at relatively higher resolutions and graphics settings.
While you should be able to run the game smoothly, we recommend you go for moderate settings to achieve smooth framerates and optimal performance. In this article, we'll look into the best settings for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti.
Disclaimer: The following settings are for a system featuring well over the recommended system requirements, particularly an RTX 3080 GPU.

The game comfortably runs at 1440p resolution on the RTX 3080. We've enabled the High graphics preset with a few moderations. The High textures produce stunning visuals and clarity, and the 3080's graphical prowess handles it super smoothly, showing framerates of over 60 fps.
We've also enabled Nvidia DLSS upscaling and set it to Quality mode, which helps us obtain higher framerates and also higher visual quality. As of now, the game does not feature frame generation.
