Best Dragon’s Dogma 2 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dragon’s Dogma 2 runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 33FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 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 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 45 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 26 FPS at 4K. Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dragon’s Dogma 2 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.

💡 Dragon’s Dogma 2: CPU-bound in NPC-filled towns — graphics settings barely change city FPS.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Dragon's Dogma 2 (RE Engine) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. It helps, but towns are CPU-bound regardless.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Replaces standard ambient-occlusion lighting with a ray-traced effect. A real cost for a subtle gain - Off is fine, especially since towns are already CPU-bound.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade.
Mesh QualityMedium+3% FPS
Character and world geometry detail. High looks best; Medium for frames.
Grass / VegetationMedium+3% FPS
Grass and plant density in the wilds. A real cost outdoors.
Screen Space ReflectionsMedium+3% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Medium is plenty.
Volumetric FogMedium+2% FPS
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. A solid, low-risk saving.
Ambient OcclusionMedium+2% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingFXAA+TAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. FXAA+TAA is the cleanest option and still cheap.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
