Best Honkai: Star Rail settings for the NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Honkai: Star Rail runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 27FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Honkai: Star Rail is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 27 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 38 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 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	27	60
1440p	16	38
4K	9	22

💡 Honkai: Star Rail: Capped at 60 FPS - aim for a steady 60; lower Effects Quality in busy fights.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Honkai: Star Rail has no DLSS, but the Render Scale slider sets internal resolution — the biggest GPU lever. (Above 1.0 it supersamples and costs FPS.)

SFX QualityLow+8% FPS

Combat skill and Ultimate effects — the main FPS drain in busy fights. Medium smooths them.

Shadow QualityOff+7% FPS

Shadow resolution. Medium is barely different from High in this stylised game.

Light QualityOff+6% FPS

Scene lighting detail. Medium is a fine, cheap saving.

Environment DetailLow+6% FPS

World and scenery detail. Medium reclaims frames in dense areas.

Reflection QualityOff+5% FPS

Reflections on water and shiny floors. Low is plenty during exploration.

Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS

Edge smoothing. Cheap; leave on to reduce shimmer.

Character QualityMedium+2% FPS

Character model detail. High is cheap on most GPUs.

Bloom EffectLow+1% FPS

Glow around bright lights. Cheap — mostly personal taste.
