Best The Talos Principle: Reawakened settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), The Talos Principle: Reawakened runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 66FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 11GB of VRAM, and The Talos Principle: Reawakened is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 65 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 65 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 46 FPS at 4K. The Talos Principle: Reawakened offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 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.

💡 The Talos Principle: Reawakened: Unreal Engine 5 remaster - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off RT reflections and lower Lumen GI first.
