On a NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Wuthering Waves runs at roughly 13 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 Wuthering Waves is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 13 FPSwith 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 13 FPS at 1080p and 8 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 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 | 6 | 13 |
| 1440p | 4 | 8 |
| 4K | 2 | 4 |
