Best Mafia: The Old Country settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Mafia: The Old Country runs at roughly 58 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 22FPS 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 Mafia: The Old Country 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 22 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. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Mafia: The Old Country 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.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Mafia: The Old Country (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first - UE5 is heavy.

LightingLow+13% FPS

Global lighting and bounce detail - one of the heaviest settings (the game has no separate ray-tracing option). High over Epic frees real FPS.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS

Lumen reflections on cars and wet cobblestone in 1900s Sicily. High is a clean trade.

Foliage QualityLow+6% FPS

Vineyards and plant density across the countryside. A real cost outdoors.

Effects QualityLow+6% FPS

Gunfire, smoke and dust effects. Lowering smooths action scenes.

View DistanceLow+5% FPS

How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS

Bloom, depth of field and the period film grain. Cheap; set to taste.

Anti-AliasingLow+4% FPS

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
