On a NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Devil May Cry 5 runs at roughly 45 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 21FPS 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 Devil May Cry 5 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 45 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 21 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 45 FPS at 1080p and 27 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 15 FPS at 4K. Devil May Cry 5 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 21 | 45 |
| 1440p | 13 | 27 |
| 4K | 7 | 15 |
