Tales of Berseria Remastered launched today on PC, bringing Velvet Crowe’s revenge story back with upgraded visuals and quality-of-life improvements. If you’re diving into this action JRPG and want the smoothest experience possible, here are the best PC settings for Tales of Berseria Remastered to maximize your FPS without sacrificing the game’s gorgeous art style.
System Requirements
Before tweaking settings, make sure your PC meets the requirements. The remaster is more demanding than the 2016 original but still runs well on modest hardware.
Minimum Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX-6300
- RAM: 6 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R9 280X (2 GB VRAM)
- Storage: 25 GB
Recommended Requirements
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super / AMD RX 5600 XT (6 GB VRAM)
- Storage: 25 GB SSD
If you’re playing on a budget gaming PC build, the remaster should run comfortably at 1080p with medium settings on something like a GTX 1650 or RX 570.
Best Settings for Tales of Berseria Remastered
The remaster adds native 4K support, uncapped frame rates (the original was locked to 30/60), and improved anti-aliasing options. Here’s the optimal configuration for each GPU tier.
Display Settings
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Resolution | Native (1080p/1440p/4K) |
| Display Mode | Borderless Fullscreen |
| V-Sync | Off (use driver-level frame cap instead) |
| Frame Rate | Uncapped or cap to monitor refresh rate |
| HDR | On (if your monitor supports it) |
The remaster finally unlocks the frame rate beyond 60 FPS, which was one of the biggest complaints about the original PC port. If you want to reduce input lag, disable V-Sync and set a frame rate cap through NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin instead.
Graphics Settings — Low-End GPUs (GTX 1050 Ti / RX 570)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Texture Quality | Medium |
| Shadow Quality | Low |
| Anti-Aliasing | FXAA |
| Anisotropic Filtering | 4x |
| Draw Distance | Medium |
| Occlusion Culling | On |
| Post-Processing | Low |
| Resolution Scale | 100% at 1080p |
Target: 60 FPS at 1080p. This tier strips out the heavy stuff while keeping the anime art style looking clean. FXAA adds minimal overhead and handles the cel-shaded edges well enough.
Graphics Settings — Mid-Range GPUs (RTX 3060 / RX 6600 XT)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Texture Quality | High |
| Shadow Quality | Medium |
| Anti-Aliasing | SMAA |
| Anisotropic Filtering | 8x |
| Draw Distance | High |
| Occlusion Culling | On |
| Post-Processing | Medium |
| Resolution Scale | 100% at 1440p |
Target: 60+ FPS at 1440p. Mid-range cards eat this game for breakfast. SMAA provides cleaner edges than FXAA without tanking performance. Bump textures to High — JRPG character models and environments benefit massively from sharper textures.
Graphics Settings — High-End GPUs (RTX 4070+ / RX 7800 XT+)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Texture Quality | Ultra |
| Shadow Quality | High |
| Anti-Aliasing | SMAA + TAA |
| Anisotropic Filtering | 16x |
| Draw Distance | Ultra |
| Occlusion Culling | On |
| Post-Processing | High |
| Resolution Scale | 100% at 4K |
Target: 60+ FPS at 4K. Crank everything. The remaster’s 4K support is native this time around (unlike the original which upscaled), and high-end GPUs will push well past 60 FPS at max settings.
Performance Tips and Fixes
GPU Not Being Used (Integrated Graphics Issue)
This was a common problem with the original Berseria and can happen with the remaster. If your FPS is unexpectedly low:
1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings
2. Find Tales of Berseria Remastered
3. Set preferred GPU to High-performance NVIDIA processor
AMD users: Check AMD Adrenalin Software > Gaming > Tales of Berseria Remastered and ensure your discrete GPU is selected.
Stuttering During Combat
The Tales combat system can cause micro-stutters on some systems due to particle effects. Lower Post-Processing and Shadow Quality first — these have the biggest impact during Mystic Arte animations and multi-enemy encounters.
Early Grade Shop — New to the Remaster
One of the biggest additions in the remaster is the Early Grade Shop. You no longer need to beat the game first to access it. You start with 11,200 Grade, letting you buy experience multipliers and other buffs from the beginning. This doesn’t affect performance, but it dramatically changes how you approach your first playthrough.
Steam Deck Compatibility
The remaster is Steam Deck verified from day one. On Deck, use:
– Resolution: 1280×800 (native)
– Textures: Medium
– Shadows: Low
– Anti-Aliasing: FXAA
– Frame Rate: Cap at 40 FPS (with 40Hz refresh)
This gives you a stable experience with solid battery life. The 40 FPS/40Hz combo feels smoother than unstable 60 FPS on Deck.
Is the Remaster Worth It?
If you never played Berseria, absolutely yes. It’s widely considered one of the best Tales games ever made — Velvet’s story is darker and more compelling than most JRPGs, and the combat system hits that sweet spot between accessible and deep. The remaster’s quality-of-life improvements (uncapped FPS, native 4K, Early Grade Shop) make this the definitive version.
If you already own the original on PC, the visual upgrades are nice but not transformative. The Early Grade Shop and performance improvements are the real selling points.

Final Thoughts
Tales of Berseria Remastered is a well-optimized PC port that runs on surprisingly modest hardware. The key settings to prioritize are Shadow Quality and Post-Processing for FPS gains, and Texture Quality for visual impact. Set your anti-aliasing to SMAA for the best balance, disable V-Sync, and enjoy one of the best JRPGs of the last decade in its best form yet.
