Best Project Zomboid settings for the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Project Zomboid runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 46FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Project Zomboid is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 46 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 37 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 21 FPS at 4K. Project Zomboid doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Project Zomboid: Isometric survival - almost entirely CPU-bound; Zombie Population is the biggest performance factor, not your GPU.
Recommended settings
Lighting QualityLow+10% FPS
Quality of the dynamic lighting model. The main GPU-side setting in this 2D isometric game (which is otherwise almost entirely CPU-bound).
Lighting UpdatesSlow+6% FPS
How often dynamic lighting recalculates. Normal is fine; lower it on weak CPUs.
Environment ReflectionsOff+5% FPS
Reflections on wet ground and windows. Cheap to turn off.
Puddle QualityOff+4% FPS
Rain puddle detail. A small, safe saving.
3D ModelsMedium+3% FPS
Detail of 3D character, zombie and object models (with a "Show 3D Objects" toggle). Lower it for a cheap gain.
Texture CompressionOnbaseline
Compresses textures to ease VRAM use — leave on unless you run the 2x texture pack. The game uses very little VRAM.
