Best Enshrouded settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Enshrouded runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 31FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Enshrouded is a demanding, graphically heavy game. 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 31 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 53 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Enshrouded: Voxel survival with heavy custom lighting - lower Global Illumination and Shroud fog first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Enshrouded supports all three upscalers. Its voxel world is GPU-hungry, so this is the first thing to enable on mid-range cards.
Indirect LightingMedium+7% FPS
The game’s custom real-time bounce lighting — the heaviest setting. High→Medium is a big win inside the Shroud and in caves.
Volumetric Shadow QualityLow+6% FPS
Shadowing within the volumetric fog. A cheap trim where the Shroud is thick.
Fog QualityMedium+5% FPS
The thick Shroud mist itself. Expensive where it’s densest — exactly where you need FPS for combat.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Sun and torch shadow resolution. Ultra is a luxury; High looks nearly the same.
Point ShadowsHighbaseline
Shadows from torches, lanterns and fires. Your base full of light sources is where this bites.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Water and shiny-surface reflections. Subtle in normal play.
Distant ObjectsHighbaseline
Draw distance of far terrain and voxel structures. Medium is a safe trim.
SSAOHighbaseline
Screen-space contact shadows in your voxel builds. Cheap; Medium is fine.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
