The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC: Best settings for RTX 5090

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered was initially only released on the PS4 and the PS5. However, Sony finally released the Remastered version on PC on April 3rd, 2025. The system requirements of the game suggest that it is just borderline demanding. The game is more GPU-intensive, and the system requirements recommend having the RTX 3060 for optimal performance.

It shouldn't be a problem for those with the RTX 5090. The latest Nvidia flagship GPU can easily run the game at its highest settings without any performance issues.

That said, it is recommended to tweak the settings to get the best balance of performance and visual quality. In this article, we will look into the best settings for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on the RTX 5090.

For The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on RTX 5090, we've enabled 4K resolution with the Very High graphics preset. This produces the best visual quality, enabling rich color tones and sharp shadows. We've also turned on Nvidia DLSS and set it to Quality mode, further improving visual fidelity and performance. All in all, the game can be played at more than 120 fps with these settings enabled.

Since the framerates are already high, there's no need to turn on Frame generation. Nevertheless, if you want to see an even higher framerate, you can turn it on. However, keep in mind that frame generation is known to cause muddy visuals, so expect some amount of blurring or pixelation.

We only recommend you turn on VSync if you don't own a monitor that supports AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync.

These are the best settings for the game on the RTX 5090:
