The RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are high-end 70-class GPUs from the last generation. Although these cards have been replaced by the much faster RTX 4070 Ti, they are capable of running the most recent titles at solid framerates.

Thus, it comes as no surprise that they can run Destiny 2: Lightfall without major performance issues, even at 4K resolution. This enables gamers to play the title at their preferred resolution.

Like most other AAA releases, Destiny 2: Lightfall packs a ton of graphics settings that can make fine-tuning each of them a bit of a chore. That is why this article will list the best settings to use with Nvidia's RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti.
