Best Silent Hill 2 graphics settings for AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and RX 6750 XT

In the last generation, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and the RX 6750 XT were launched as 1440p gaming video cards. If you want to use them to get a respectable framerate in the latest games, like Silent Hill 2, you need to dial down the settings significantly. In some more demanding titles, the cards have to stick to 1080p resolutions.

Going through the settings manually can be quite time-consuming. Moreover, getting the right combination requires a ton of trial and error. To help you get started quickly, we have listed the ideal settings combinations for the RDNA 2 cards below.

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT can't play most modern releases at QHD resolutions. In Silent Hill 2, we recommend sticking to 1080p to play the game at a mix of High and Epic settings. While it is capable enough of running the survival horror at 1440p, you need to resort to some visual compromises, which isn't worth it.

The AMD RX 6750 XT isn't much faster than the original RX 6700 XT. The card solely relies on a higher clock speed to deliver better framerates. We recommend sticking to a similar set of High and Epic settings in Silent Hill 2, with FSR 3 turned on at 1080p resolutions.
