Best Dune Awakening graphics settings for RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super

Dune Awakening is an upcoming third-person survival MMORPG set to release on Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Linux. The game will be released globally on June 10, 2025, but is already available in certain regions through advanced access starting June 5, 2025.

Awakening's system requirements show that it is quite demanding in terms of CPU and GPU requirements. It requires a GPU with a minimum of 6 GB VRAM to run at recommended settings. Luckily, the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super come with 16 GB VRAM, giving them enough juice to power through the game at high resolutions and graphics settings.

However, while both GPUs are capable of high performance, it is always recommended to change a few settings to get the best visual quality and performance. This guide will list the best graphics settings for Dune Awakening on the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super GPUs.

Disclaimer: These settings are for a PC featuring at least the recommended system requirements of the game, particularly an RTX 4080 GPU.
