Best Lords of the Fallen (2023) settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Lords of the Fallen (2023) runs at roughly 58 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 24FPS 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 Lords of the Fallen (2023) is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 58 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 24 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 58 FPS at 1080p and 35 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 20 FPS at 4K. Lords of the Fallen (2023) offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Lords of the Fallen (2023) 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.
