Dragon Age: The Veilguard PC & PS5 Pro Optimization Guide: Ray Tracing Frametime Telemetry, Companion Combos & DLSS 3.7 Presets

1. PC Graphics Benchmarks: VRAM Allocation, Ray Tracing & DLSS 3.7 Presets

In dense urban environments such as Minrathous and Treviso, Dragon Age: The Veilguard utilizes strand-based hair physics across all characters alongside selective Ray-Traced Reflections and Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO). On an RTX 4070 Super at 1440p Ultra with DLSS Quality enabled, average framerates hold steady at 94 FPS with 1% lows at 76 FPS.

For 8GB VRAM GPUs (such as the RTX 4060 or RX 7600), setting Texture Quality to “High” rather than “Ultra” prevents PCIe bandwidth spillover and keeps VRAM consumption under 7.2GB. Compared to the heavy CPU bottlenecks we documented in our Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta DPS & PC Performance Report, Frostbite scales gracefully across 6-core and 8-core Ryzen processors.

2. Primer & Detonator Companion Synergy Matrix

Combat in The Veilguard revolves around chaining three distinct affliction primers—Weakened, Sundered, and Overwhelmed—with companion detonator abilities to trigger massive AoE stagger explosions:

• Spellblade Mage Rook + Lucanis + Harding: Apply Sundered via Harding’s Shred shot, then trigger Lucanis’s Eviscerate to detonate for 2,400% weapon damage while stripping boss barrier shields.
• Reaper Warrior Rook + Bellara + Davrin: Use Bellara’s Galvanized Tear to pull enemies into a singularity and apply Weakened, followed by Davrin’s Heroic Strike for guaranteed critical AoE detonation.
