On a NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Finals runs at roughly 15 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 The Finals is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 15 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 15 FPS at 1080p and 9 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 5 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. With the CPU-heavy destruction engine, upscaling is the most effective relief.
Global IlluminationLow+12% FPS
Bounced lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. Medium frees real frames.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution. Medium/High is the standard competitive pick.
ReflectionsLow+8% FPS
Surface reflections. Moderate cost and rarely noticed mid-fight.
Effects QualityLow+7% FPS
Explosions and destruction effects, and The Finals throws a lot of them. Lowering smooths the chaos.
Shading QualityLow+5% FPS
Material and surface shading detail. High is a clean, cheap trade over Epic.
View DistanceLow+5% FPS
How far the arena renders at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Foliage QualityLow+5% FPS
Plants and destructible scenery. A small, safe gain when lowered.
Post ProcessLow+4% FPS
Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingLow+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the fast action clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
