Best Where Winds Meet 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), Where Winds Meet 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 Where Winds Meet 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 53 FPS at 4K. Where Winds Meet 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	66	65
1440p	40	61
4K	22	53

💡 Where Winds Meet: Unreal Engine 5 open-world wuxia - turn down Lumen first; upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSROff

Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — near-essential at 1440p and up.

Global IlluminationOffsaves FPS

UE5 bounce lighting — gorgeous but the heaviest option. Lowering or disabling it is a major gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.

View DistanceHighbaseline

How far the open world renders. Heavy and partly CPU-bound in busy towns.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little loss.

Vegetation QualityHighbaseline

Density of grass and trees — one of the highest-impact settings. Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving.

Reflection QualityMediumbaseline

Reflections on water and lacquered surfaces — a real cost across the wuxia landscapes. Medium is a clean trade.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Combat and weather effects. Drops most in fights — lower it to stay steady.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
