Best Mafia II: Definitive Edition settings for the AMD RX 550 (4GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 550 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Mafia II: Definitive Edition runs at roughly 52 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 24FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 550 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 52 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 24 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 52 FPS at 1080p and 31 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 18 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

1080p	24	52
1440p	14	31
4K	8	18

💡 Mafia II: Definitive Edition: Older remaster - runs easily; watch APEX PhysX on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there).

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though this remaster runs easily on modern hardware.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range — the heaviest setting here. Medium is barely different from High while running faster.

Geometry DetailLow+8% FPS

World and object detail. High is fine on most cards; lower it only if you need frames.

APEX PhysX DetailOff+6% FPS

Cloth, debris and particle physics — can tank FPS on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there). Off or Medium is safest.

Anti-AliasingOff+6% FPS

Smooths jagged edges — higher levels (MSAA) get expensive. 2x is a good balance.

Anisotropic Filtering4x+4% FPS

Keeps road and building textures sharp at angles. Cheap — 16x is fine.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
