Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Performance Benchmark Review - 33 GPUs Tested

Image Quality Comparison »

Graphics Settings

  • The available performance presets are "low," "medium," "high," and "epic"
  • Upscalers available are TSR, DLSS and XeSS, no FSR
  • There is no support for frame generation
  • The FPS limit can be set to 30, 60, 120 or Unlimited, there is no hidden FPS cap
  • V-Sync can be disabled completely
  • The Window mode options are "fullscreen," "windowed" and "borderless"
  • Motion blur, film grain, chromatic aberration and vignette can be turned off, which helps, but there's still some weird sharpening effect that's very distracting and that can't be disabled
  • In addition to that, there's a good amount of additional options to fine-tune the performance.

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

  • All cards used for comparison are Founders Edition / reference design. If a reference card does not exist, we use the closest mode to ensure default clocks and power limit
  • We tested the public Steam release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, including the day one patch.
  • We used the newest drivers from all the GPU vendors. AMD, NVIDIA and Intel all have released Game Ready drivers.
  • Our benchmarking scene uses real in-game gameplay in an open world location.
