On a NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), V Rising runs at roughly 41 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 18FPS 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 V Rising is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 41 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 41 FPS at 1080p and 24 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 14 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
V Rising renders top-down, so a lower internal resolution is hard to spot — the resolution slider is an easy big win on weak GPUs.
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Sun/moon shadows across the whole visible map — the heaviest setting in this top-down view. Shadows also matter to gameplay (the sun burns you), so Medium is the floor we recommend.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)Off+7% FPS
Contact shadows that ground your castle’s furniture and walls. Moderate cost.
High-Quality VegetationOff+6% FPS
Ground cover across Vardoran. Turning it off also makes loot slightly easier to spot.
Anti-AliasingOff+5% FPS
Edge smoothing. Cheap; High keeps the gothic scenery clean.
Volumetrics QualityLow+5% FPS
The gothic mist over graveyards and the Cursed Forest. Atmospheric but a cheap trim for frames.
Post Processing (Bloom / DoF)Low+4% FPS
Bloom and depth-of-field. Cheap to lower; many PvP players do anyway for clarity.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Nearly free on any card with 4GB+ VRAM.
