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

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Pragmata runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 34FPS 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 Pragmata is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 34 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 47 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 27 FPS at 4K. Pragmata offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Pragmata: Capcom RE Engine sci-fi title - ray tracing is the heaviest setting; pair it with upscaling or keep it Off.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Pragmata runs on Capcom's RE Engine, which ships with FSR and DLSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and lighting across the game's glossy sci-fi surfaces. Beautiful but the single heaviest setting - keep Off for high FPS, or pair with upscaling.
Volumetric LightingLow+7% FPS
Atmospheric light shafts and haze - a real cost in the moody sci-fi corridors. Medium is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and draw distance. High is the value pick over Max.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows that add depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Mesh QualityMedium+3% FPS
Geometry detail on characters and the station environments. High looks great; Medium for frames.
Texture QualityMax-1% FPS
RE Engine textures are VRAM-hungry and the menu shows an estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Max, to avoid stutter.
Screen Space ReflectionsOnbaseline
Reflections on metal and glass when ray tracing is off. A small saving when disabled.
Subsurface ScatteringOnbaseline
Realistic light through skin. Cheap; leave On for the close-up cutscenes.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
