Best Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 runs at roughly 30 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 13FPS 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 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 30 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 30 FPS at 1080p and 18 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 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.

💡 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Fast traversal is CPU-heavy; ray tracing adds even more CPU load.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. With CPU-heavy web-swinging traversal, upscaling frees GPU headroom effectively.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and shadows. NYC looks stunning with RT on, but it adds CPU and GPU load. Low is a good middle ground.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot.
Reflection QualityLow+9% FPS
Glass skyscrapers make reflections very visible. High is a solid choice.
Level of DetailLow+8% FPS
World geometry detail at distance - partly CPU-bound during fast traversal.
Crowd DensityLow+6% FPS
NPC density on city streets - CPU-bound. Lower it if you hit a CPU bottleneck during traversal.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is plenty for fast traversal.
Traffic DensityLow+5% FPS
How many cars fill the streets - CPU-bound. Lower it if you hit a CPU bottleneck.
Hair QualityLow+3% FPS
Strand detail on hair and fur in close-ups. A modest cost.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Needs 10GB+ for Ultra - ease off on 8GB cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps rooftops and streets sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
