Best Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon settings for the NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon runs at roughly 26 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 10FPS 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 Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 26 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 10 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 26 FPS at 1080p and 16 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
This Unreal Engine 5 RPG supports all three upscalers plus UE5’s own TSR. The biggest FPS gain available — turn it on before touching anything else.
Fog QualityLow+14% FPS
Volumetric fog across Avalon's moody zones — one of the heaviest settings on this Unity game (which uses rasterized lighting, not ray tracing). High→Medium is a big win with a modest atmosphere hit.
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Shadow resolution and virtual shadow map detail. One of the best FPS-per-visual trades in UE5 games.
Effects QualityLow+8% FPS
Spell effects, fire and particles. Lowering helps most in busy combat.
Vegetation QualityLow+8% FPS
Grass and forest density across the open zones — one of the heavier, most impactful settings outdoors.
View DistanceLow+7% FPS
How far detailed objects render. Lowering causes pop-in, so we cut it only when needed.
SSAOOff+5% FPS
Screen-space ambient occlusion — soft contact shadows. Low is a cheap trade.
Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom, motion blur and other screen effects. Cheap to lower and barely visible in motion.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Nearly free if it fits your VRAM — 8GB cards can keep this high.
