Best 7 Days to Die settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), 7 Days to Die runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 70FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and 7 Days to Die is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 70 FPS with 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 70 FPS at 1080p and 65 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
