The Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are GPUs that can play the latest titles, like XDefiant. This new first-person shooter is well-optimized on PC and runs at sky-high framerates on even some modest hardware. However, the game particularly shines with some tweaks to the settings, which unlocks a proper competitive experience.

Like most AAA titles, XDefiant bundles a bunch of graphics options that need to be customized individually. To help you get started quickly, we have prepared this cheat sheet with the ideal settings combinations.

The Nvidia RTX 3070 was initially launched as a 1440p gaming GPU. It keeps up well at this resolution with the settings tuned down to a mix of Medium, High, and Ultra. The game doesn't support upscaling, which mandates these settings compromises.

The RTX 3070 Ti continues to be a great QHD gaming GPU even after being replaced by newer alternatives. The card, however, can't deliver a remarkably better experience in XDefiant, given the non-Ti variant already plays it at sky-high FPS.

The settings list is as follows:

Video settings

  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • Display Resolution: 2560 x 1440
  • Refresh Rate: Maximum supported by your display
  • Display Monitor: 1
