Best Lords of the Fallen (2023) settings for the NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Lords of the Fallen (2023) runs at roughly 10 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 MX230 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Lords of the Fallen (2023) 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 10 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 10 FPS at 1080p and 6 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. Lords of the Fallen (2023) offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Lords of the Fallen (2023) 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.
