Best Marathon settings for the AMD RX 6700 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 6700 XT (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Marathon runs at roughly 80 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 60FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6700 XT is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 80 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 98 FPS at 1080p and 80 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest single FPS gain — turn it on first, especially at 1440p and up.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference in a fight.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the map and players render — key for spotting threats in an extraction shooter, and partly CPU-bound.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Gunfire and ability effects. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Foliage / DetailHighbaseline
Environment density. Cheap to lower, and less cover hiding enemies.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom and lens effects. Low gives a cleaner, clearer image.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
