The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC: Best settings for RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, previously exclusively available on the PS4 and the PS5, was finally released on the PC platform yesterday, April 3, 2025. Its system requirements suggest it's just borderline demanding in terms of hardware. Considering the officially recommended GPU for the game is the RTX 3060, those who own an RTX 4070 or an RTX 4070 Ti can run the game at some of its best settings.

This means you can comfortably aim for 4K gaming without worrying about performance-related issues. However, to achieve that, you'd have to make some tweaks to the settings. This article will offer a look at the best settings for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on the RTX 4070 and the RTX 4070 Ti.

Note: The settings mentioned in the article are for PCs that meet at least the recommended system requirements for the game and are using an RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti GPU.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered looks amazing on the RTX 4070. Even at a 4K resolution and with the graphics preset set to Very High, the game churns out respectable framerates of around 70 FPS with this card. The higher resolution, paired with the maximum graphics settings, produces stunning visuals with rich color tones and deep shadows. This contributes heavily to the game's immersive quality.

We've also enabled Nvidia DLSS and set it to Quality mode, as it helps improve gameplay by working on the visual quality as well as performance.
