Best Honkai Star Rail settings for low-end PCs

Honkai Star Rail has become one of the most popular games ever just a few weeks after its launch. It isn't the most graphically demanding game out there. Multiple low-end PCs with 50- or 60-class GPUs can easily handle it without significant performance issues. However, choosing the incorrect graphics settings can give gamers a hard time.

Although the number of options to customize is fewer than what we have seen in other PC games from the last few months, Honkai Star Rail can still leave some gamers scratching their heads. Thus, this guide lists the best graphics settings for playing the HoYoverse title on low-end hardware.

Low-end PCs won't have major issues running Honkai Star Rail at decent framerates

There is a ton of low-end hardware available in the market, ranging from a second-gen Core i3 processor to the GT 710 graphics card. It is worth noting that these options can barely play the latest games. For this reason, we didn't include the best settings for PCs running these components.

The minimum graphics card that qualifies as low-end hardware these days is an AMD RX 560, which was launched back in 2017. It is almost equivalent to the PlayStation 4 in terms of graphics computing power.

Best Honkai: Star Rail graphics settings for low-end PCs at 1080p

The following settings are the best for low-end graphics to run the game at 1080p:

• Graphics Quality: Custom
• Resolution: 1920x1080 Full Screen
• FPS: 60
• Vsync: Off
• Rendering Quality: 1.0
• Shadow Quality: Medium
• Reflection Quality: Medium
• Character Quality: Medium
• Environment Detail: Medium
• Bloom Effect: Medium
• Anti-Aliasing: TAA
• Light Quality: High

It is worth noting that Honkai Star Rail isn't particularly demanding on the underlying hardware at 1080p. Thus, entry-level GPUs from a few years ago, like the GTX 1050 Ti and the GTX 1060 3 GB, can easily play the game at decent framerates. However, we recommend at least a GTX 1650 in the low end for a decent framerate.

Overall, low-end PCs can easily handle HoYoverse's latest miHoYo-made turn-based JRPG. With the listed settings applied, gamers can expect a decent framerate without sacrificing visual quality.
