Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a 2024 action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, and the sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on October 31, 2024.

Engine: Frostbite. We test using the Ultra preset, ray tracing disabled, DLSS/FSR disabled, DX12 API.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is another game which favours Nvidia hardware, and we can see that with the 9060 XT 16GB only level with the RTX 4060 Ti, making it 14% slower than the 5060 Ti 16GB.

However, VRAM becomes a significant factor at 1440p, where the 9060 XT 16GB actually comes in 26% faster than the 5060 Ti 8GB, and that's without any ray tracing. The AMD GPU is still 12% slower than the 5060 Ti 16GB, but it does to show how important VRAM can be.
