Best Helldivers 2 settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Helldivers 2 runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 75FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Helldivers 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 123 FPS at 1080p and 74 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Helldivers 2, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Lowering the render scale is the biggest FPS lever in Helldivers 2 — the game is demanding and benefits a lot from it.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Screen-Space Global IlluminationOnbaseline
Bounced ambient lighting. Heavy — turning it Off is one of the best FPS saves.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium/High frees real performance on busy planets.
Volumetric Fog / CloudsHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and smoke. Costly during dropships and bombardments.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Explosions and stratagem effects — and Helldivers 2 throws a LOT of them. Lowering smooths the chaos.
Render DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world renders at full detail. Keep reasonably high to spot distant enemies.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; turn Off for a small gain.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Surface reflections. Rarely the focus in frantic firefights.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
Overall lighting fidelity. Medium is a strong high-FPS choice.
Screen-Space ShadowsOnbaseline
Fine contact shadows. Cheap; Off gains a few frames.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; SMAA is sharper and a touch lighter.
Bloom / Motion Blur / DoFOnbaseline
Post-processing effects bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
