DLSS, FSR and XeSS in Zenless Zone Zero: DLSS, FSR

The game supports: DLSS, FSR. The calculation uses FPSHQ model general upscaling factors (Quality ×1.35, Balanced ×1.55, Performance ×1.85) — not a measurement in this game. Resolution 1440p, High preset. The multipliers apply to the graphics card limit: the final FPS is capped by the CPU (the reference test-bench CPU) and the game's frame cap.

In short

How do I increase FPS in Zenless Zone Zero?

model estimate Per the FPSHQ model, a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p delivers 62–97 FPS in Zenless Zone Zero on Ultra, 73–115 on High, 88–140 on Medium and 105–170 on Low: dropping from Ultra to Medium gives +41% 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.

Zenless Zone Zero runs on the Unity engine and is a moderately demanding title (load index 59 of 100). The Unity engine shapes which graphics settings hit FPS hardest — we break them down below.

In an RPG you spend dozens of hours in the open world, so draw distance and shadow quality matter most — they build the atmosphere but also load the system hardest. Find a balance between visuals and a stable 60 FPS.

The developers of Zenless Zone Zero recommend a GPU around GeForce GTX1660. If yours is weaker, follow the tips above; if stronger, you can raise settings and resolution without losing smoothness.

How much FPS does DLSS give in Zenless Zone Zero?

Per the FPSHQ model, a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1440p High delivers 46–68 FPS in Zenless Zone Zero without upscaling, 61–91 FPS with DLSS Quality (+34%) and 84–125 FPS in Performance mode (+84%). Upscaling factors are generic model coefficients, not a measurement in this game; frame generation is not included. The game supports: DLSS, FSR.

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 Zenless Zone Zero

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 Zenless Zone Zero

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 (Zenless Zone Zero: 59/100).

TargetGaming ScorePopular CPU example
60 FPS≥ 2,062Core i5-2400
120 FPS≥ 4,123Core i7-9700
144 FPS≥ 4,947Core i9-10900

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.

What graphics settings should I use in Zenless Zone Zero on the GeForce RTX 3060?
On the GeForce RTX 3060 in Zenless Zone Zero the optimal choice is 1080p with the Ultra preset — the FPSHQ model gives 62–97 FPS. For more frames lower shadows and volumetric effects or enable upscaling.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in Zenless Zone Zero?
For 144 FPS at 1080p in Zenless Zone Zero you need GeForce RTX 3080-level performance (High-end) on the Medium preset — 135–210 FPS by the FPSHQ model.
Does Zenless Zone Zero have DLSS, FSR or XeSS?
Yes, Zenless Zone Zero supports DLSS, FSR. In Quality mode the FPSHQ model assumes about ×1.35 FPS — this is a general factor; the real gain depends on the scene. The multipliers apply to the graphics card limit: the final FPS is capped by the CPU (the reference test-bench CPU) and the game's frame cap.
Which settings affect FPS the most in Zenless Zone Zero?
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 Zenless Zone Zero 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 Core i5-2400 level.
How do I increase FPS in Zenless Zone Zero?
Lower the heaviest settings (shadows, volumetric effects), then enable upscaling (DLSS / FSR) and update your driver. Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p, going from Ultra to Medium in Zenless Zone Zero gives +41% FPS.
How much FPS do I gain in Zenless Zone Zero going from Ultra to Medium?
Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p: 62–97 FPS on Ultra, 73–115 on High, 88–140 on Medium, 105–170 on Low — Medium gives +41% over Ultra, Low +73%.
