On a NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 32 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS 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 The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 32 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 32 FPS at 1080p and 19 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 11 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Outer Worlds 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 12 | 32 |
| 1440p | 7 | 19 |
| 4K | 4 | 11 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) averages around 32 FPS at 1080p in The Outer Worlds 2 — up from about 12 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) averages roughly 19 FPS in The Outer Worlds 2; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Global Illumination (Lumen) and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
