Best Silent Hill 2 (Remake) settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Silent Hill 2 (Remake) runs at roughly 48 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 19FPS 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 Silent Hill 2 (Remake) 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 48 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 19 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 48 FPS at 1080p and 29 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 17 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Silent Hill 2 (Remake) 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

Silent Hill 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. Practically required - UE5 traversal is demanding.

Global Illumination (Lumen)Low+13% FPS

Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest setting. High over Epic frees a lot of FPS.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

Reflections (Lumen)Low+8% FPS

Reflections on wet streets - very visible in foggy Silent Hill. High is a clean trade.

Volumetric FogLow+7% FPS

The signature fog - heavy for the look but central to the atmosphere. High is a fair balance.

Effects QualityLow+6% FPS

Flashlight particles and combat effects. Lower is more readable in tense fights.

View DistanceLow+5% FPS

How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered - the fog hides most of it.

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.
