Best Diablo IV settings for the NVIDIA GTX 950 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 950 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Diablo IV runs at roughly 62 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 950 is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Diablo IV is a moderately demanding game. 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 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 28 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS. A big GPU-side boost, though Diablo IV is well optimized to begin with.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and filtering. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Screen Space Ambient OcclusionMedium+3% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; Medium is plenty for the top-down view.
Fog QualityMedium+3% FPS
Volumetric fog in dungeons and the open world. A low-risk saving.
Reflection QualityMedium+3% FPS
Reflections on wet floors and water. Often subtle from the isometric camera.
Clutter / Particle QualityMedium+2% FPS
On-screen effects and debris. Lowering smooths busy fights with lots of mobs.
Anti-AliasingMedium+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
Geometric ComplexityMedium+2% FPS
Detail on environment and dungeon geometry. High over the top-down camera is plenty.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Diablo IV is VRAM-hungry — Ultra textures want 10GB+. On 8GB cards, High avoids stutter.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp at angles — essentially free, use 16x.
Shadow Filtering QualityHighbaseline
How softly shadow edges blur. Medium is a cheap, clean middle ground.
Water Simulation QualityHighbaseline
Ripples and flow on water surfaces. A low-risk saving from the isometric view.
DistortionOnbaseline
Heat-haze and magic-warp effects. Nearly free; set to taste.
