Best Marathon settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Marathon runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 71FPS 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 Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 70 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 117 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Marathon, 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.

💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
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.
