Best Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint settings for the NVIDIA GTX 970 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 970 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 43FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 970 is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 66 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 66 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 42 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint 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.

💡 Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint: Like Wildlands, Godrays and shadows dominate the cost; the render-scale slider is your strongest lever.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Breakpoint has a render-scale / adaptive-resolution slider (no DLSS). Dropping below 100% is the strongest single GPU lever.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. High for 6GB, Ultra for 8GB+.
Godrays QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric lighting — as in Wildlands, one of the heaviest settings. High or below is a large FPS gain over Ultra.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range across Auroa's open world. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Terrain QualityHighbaseline
Detail and tessellation of the ground and cliffs. Ultra is costly for little gain.
Vegetation / ObjectsHighbaseline
Density and draw distance of grass, trees and props. Medium/High smooths helicopter and vehicle travel.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Screen-space reflections on water and wet surfaces. High is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionHBAO+baseline
Soft contact shading. HBAO+ is the sensible default for a small cost.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is the cleanest for this foliage-heavy game and is cheap.
