Best 007 First Light settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), 007 First Light runs at roughly 53 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 23FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and 007 First Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 53 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 53 FPS at 1080p and 32 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 18 FPS at 4K. 007 First Light offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 007 First Light: Glacier engine (the Hitman engine) is well-optimised - upscaling plus High settings hits high frame rates comfortably.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
007 First Light runs on IO Interactive's Glacier engine (the Hitman engine), which supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections on Bond's polished, mirror-filled locations. A real cost for a classy gain - keep Off for high FPS.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+8% FPS
Reflections on water, glass and marble floors when ray tracing is off. Glacier leans on these - Medium is a clean trade.
Simulation QualityLow+7% FPS
Crowd density and physics detail - a Glacier-engine signature in busy missions. Medium keeps frametimes steady in packed crowds.
Volumetric LightingLow+6% FPS
Atmospheric light shafts and fog. Medium is an easy win that's hard to notice in motion.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Level of DetailLow+5% FPS
How detailed distant objects stay. High avoids obvious pop-in; drop to Medium for frames.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness, shown with a VRAM estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces (floors, walls) sharp into the distance. Practically free - leave at 16x.
