Best Subnautica 2 settings for the AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Subnautica 2 runs at roughly 35 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 13FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Subnautica 2 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 35 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 35 FPS at 1080p and 21 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 12 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	13	35
1440p	8	21
4K	5	12

💡 Subnautica 2: Early-access Unreal Engine 5 - Lumen Global Illumination is the heaviest setting; upscaling helps a lot.

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

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Subnautica 2 (Unity) supports Nvidia DLSS plus Frame Generation - there is currently no FSR for AMD/Intel. Enable it first for a big, low-cost FPS gain.

CloudsLow+16% FPS

Volumetric clouds above the surface - can drain ~20 FPS at Epic. Medium is a big saving with little loss.

View / Detail DistanceLow+10% FPS

How far terrain and props render. Lower it a notch first if you dip in open water.

Shadow QualityLow+9% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is a strong step down from Epic.

Water & Caustics QualityLow+9% FPS

The shimmering light patterns and water detail that define the look. Medium keeps the vibe while saving frames.

Flora / Foliage DensityLow+7% FPS

Density of coral and plant life. Lower it for steadier FPS in dense reefs.

Effects QualityLow+5% FPS

Particles, bubbles and volumetrics. Medium is plenty.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface detail — cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
