Best Enshrouded settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Enshrouded runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 61FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Enshrouded is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 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 61 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 58 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Enshrouded: Voxel survival with heavy custom lighting - lower Global Illumination and Shroud fog first.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Enshrouded supports all three upscalers. Its voxel world is GPU-hungry, so this is the first thing to enable on mid-range cards.
Indirect LightingHighbaseline
The game’s custom real-time bounce lighting — the heaviest setting. High→Medium is a big win inside the Shroud and in caves.
Fog QualityHighbaseline
The thick Shroud mist itself. Expensive where it’s densest — exactly where you need FPS for combat.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Sun and torch shadow resolution. Ultra is a luxury; High looks nearly the same.
Volumetric Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadowing within the volumetric fog. A cheap trim where the Shroud is thick.
Point ShadowsHighbaseline
Shadows from torches, lanterns and fires. Your base full of light sources is where this bites.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Water and shiny-surface reflections. Subtle in normal play.
Distant ObjectsHighbaseline
Draw distance of far terrain and voxel structures. Medium is a safe trim.
SSAOHighbaseline
Screen-space contact shadows in your voxel builds. Cheap; Medium is fine.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
