On a NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Atomfall runs at roughly 35 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 15FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Atomfall is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 35 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 15 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 35 FPS at 1080p and 21 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 12 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 15 | 35 |
| 1440p | 9 | 21 |
| 4K | 5 | 12 |
