Best Star Wars Outlaws settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Star Wars Outlaws runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 37FPS 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 Star Wars Outlaws is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 37 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 29 FPS at 4K. Star Wars Outlaws offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Star Wars Outlaws 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	37	62
1440p	22	50
4K	13	29

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Star Wars Outlaws (Snowdrop) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - it is very demanding.

Ray-Traced ReflectionsLow0% FPS

Ray-traced reflection quality on top of the always-on RT lighting (Outlaws' ray tracing can't be fully disabled). Lower it for high FPS - it's the heaviest GPU setting.

Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.

Volumetric FogMedium+3% FPS

Atmospheric fog and light shafts. A solid saving with little visible loss.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Vegetation QualityHighbaseline

Grass and plant density across the planets. A real cost in lush areas.

Reflections (SSR)Highbaseline

Standard screen-space reflections. Medium is plenty.

Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline

Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
