Best RuneScape: Dragonwilds settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), RuneScape: Dragonwilds runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS 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 RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 74 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 37 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in RuneScape: Dragonwilds at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
