Best Onimusha: Way of the Sword settings for the NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Onimusha: Way of the Sword runs at roughly 14 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS 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 Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 14 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 14 FPS at 1080p and 8 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 5 FPS at 4K. Onimusha: Way of the Sword offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
