ASKA graphics settings

Optimal ASKA graphics settings according to the FPSHQ model: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 holds 60 FPS at 1080p on the Ultra preset (55–86 FPS); entry-level cards like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB should use Medium at 720p (60–96 FPS). For 144 FPS at 1080p you need NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080-class performance on the Medium preset (120–190 FPS). Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement); data as of Oct 13, 2026.

How do I increase FPS in ASKA?

model estimate Per the FPSHQ model, a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p delivers 55–86 FPS in ASKA on Ultra, 64–100 on High, 77–120 on Medium and 96–150 on Low: dropping from Ultra to Medium gives +40% frames, to Low +73%. The fastest way to raise FPS is to lower the 3–4 heaviest settings from the list below, then enable upscaling, and only then reduce the render resolution.

ASKA is a demanding Strategy game (load index 65 of 100). Below we cover which graphics settings affect FPS the most and how to maximize frames.

For ASKA (Strategy), start from the High preset and gradually lower the heaviest options until FPS is comfortable. Begin with shadows and post-processing — they barely affect sharpness but noticeably ease GPU load.

Does ASKA have DLSS, FSR or XeSS?

FPSHQ data shows no DLSS, FSR or XeSS support in ASKA. What is left: the graphics preset, the render-resolution scale (if the game has one) and driver-level scaling — NVIDIA Image Scaling or AMD RSR.

What to do outside the game

  1. Update your GPU drivers to the latest version.
  2. Close background apps (browser, Discord overlay).
  3. Turn on Windows Game Mode and the High performance power plan; keep a laptop plugged in — on battery the GPU runs at a reduced power limit.
  4. If FPS fluctuates, cap it slightly below your monitor's refresh rate (in-game or in the driver panel) — frame pacing gets smoother and the GPU stops running flat out.
  5. If nothing helps — lower the render resolution.

Steps are general practice; the numbers above come from the FPSHQ model (GeForce RTX 3060), not a measurement on your PC.

What to lower first in ASKA

If FPS is below your target, go down this list from the top: first come the settings that load the GPU the most in most games.

  1. Volumetric effects (fog, clouds, light) big FPS impact
    Volumetric fog and clouds are computed every frame; dropping them from max to medium usually gives a solid gain with little visual difference.
  2. Shadow quality and distance big FPS impact
    Shadow map resolution and draw distance are among the most expensive raster settings, especially in open worlds. Medium is a sensible compromise.
  3. Reflections (SSR) noticeable impact
    High-quality screen-space reflections noticeably load the GPU; on medium the difference shows mostly on water and glossy surfaces.
  4. Ambient occlusion noticeable impact
    Adds depth to the scene. Heavy variants (HBAO+, RTAO) can be swapped for simpler SSAO.
  5. Draw distance and level of detail noticeable impact
    Affects both the GPU and the CPU (more objects per frame). If you are CPU-bound, start here and with crowd/foliage density.
  6. Anti-aliasing noticeable impact
    MSAA and supersampling are very heavy; TAA or the upscaler's anti-aliasing (DLAA/FSR Native AA) give a comparable image for less.
  7. Texture quality depends on VRAM
    Barely affects FPS as long as VRAM is sufficient; when VRAM runs out you get stutters and texture pop-in. GeForce RTX 3060 has 12 GB of VRAM — you can max out textures, it costs almost no FPS.
  8. Post-processing (motion blur, depth of field, film grain) almost no impact
    Cheap in FPS and mostly a matter of taste; motion blur is often turned off for clarity.
  9. Anisotropic filtering almost no impact
    Almost free on modern GPUs — keep it at 8x–16x.

These are general rules for most games: the exact impact of each setting depends on the engine and the scene. FPS numbers on this page are FPSHQ unified model estimates for whole presets.

Which CPU you need for ASKA

At high FPS the CPU becomes the limit. In the FPSHQ model the CPU ceiling depends on its Gaming Score and on the game's demand (ASKA: 65/100).

TargetGaming ScorePopular CPU example
60 FPS≥ 2,164Xeon E5-2670 v3
120 FPS≥ 4,327Ryzen 5 5500
144 FPS≥ 5,192Core i7-12700H

Gaming Score is the CPU gaming index in the FPSHQ catalog. The minimum is set so that the model's CPU ceiling does not drop below the target.

FAQ

What graphics settings should I use in ASKA on the GeForce RTX 3060?
On the GeForce RTX 3060 in ASKA the optimal choice is 1080p with the Ultra preset — the FPSHQ model gives 55–86 FPS. For more frames lower shadows and volumetric effects or enable upscaling.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in ASKA?
For 144 FPS at 1080p in ASKA you need GeForce RTX 3080-level performance (High-end) on the Medium preset — 120–190 FPS by the FPSHQ model.
Which settings affect FPS the most in ASKA?
As in most games, FPS drops the most from volumetric effects (fog, clouds), shadow quality and distance, reflections and heavy anti-aliasing. Textures barely matter as long as there is enough VRAM.
Why is my FPS in ASKA lower than in the table?
The values are calculated without a CPU bottleneck, on current drivers. Real FPS depends on your CPU, memory speed and channel mode, background apps, game version and the specific scene. For a stable 60 FPS the CPU should be at least at the Xeon E5-2670 v3 level.
How do I increase FPS in ASKA?
Lower the heaviest settings (shadows, volumetric effects), then enable upscaling and update your driver. Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p, going from Ultra to Medium in ASKA gives +40% FPS.
How much FPS do I gain in ASKA going from Ultra to Medium?
Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p: 55–86 FPS on Ultra, 64–100 on High, 77–120 on Medium, 96–150 on Low — Medium gives +40% over Ultra, Low +73%.
