Best inZOI settings for the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), inZOI runs at roughly 12 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 4FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and inZOI is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 12 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 4 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 12 FPS at 1080p and 7 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in inZOI at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 inZOI: Demanding UE5 life sim - city density is CPU-bound, like The Sims on steroids.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
inZOI (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - it is a very demanding life sim.
Global Illumination QualityLow+14% FPS
Lumen bounce lighting (software, or hardware ray tracing at the top setting) - the heaviest setting. High over Epic frees real FPS.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Character Display DistanceLow+8% FPS
How far Zois render at full detail - leans on your CPU in a busy city. Lower it if the city stutters.
Reflection QualityLow+7% FPS
Lumen reflections on glass and water. High is a clean trade.
Object Display DistanceLow+6% FPS
Draw distance of city objects and props. High is a safe trim.
Background Detail QualityLow+6% FPS
Detail of distant background objects. Medium reclaims frames in wide city views.
Effects QualityLow+6% FPS
Weather and ambient effects. High is plenty.
Plant Density and QualityLow+5% FPS
Plant and tree density around the neighbourhoods. A small, safe gain when lowered.
Post-Processing QualityLow+5% FPS
Bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingLow+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
