Best Arma Reforger settings for the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Arma Reforger runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 64FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Arma Reforger is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 58 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Arma Reforger 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.

💡 Arma Reforger: Enfusion engine - heavily CPU-bound on full servers; View Distance is by far the biggest lever.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Reforger supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest GPU-side gain — though on full servers your CPU is usually the real limit.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Ultra.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the huge map renders (plus a separate Object Draw Distance). By far the heaviest setting, and it leans hard on the CPU — lowering it is the best fix for low FPS on populated servers.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range across open terrain. High is a big saving over Ultra for little visible loss.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Grass density and detail. Costly, and lower settings stop tall grass hiding prone players up close — one of the biggest FPS gains.
Environment QualityHighbaseline
Sky, cloud and atmosphere detail. Surprisingly costly — a cheap, near-invisible saving on the ground.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Smoke and explosions. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing. Dropping it (with Environment Quality) can recover 20+ FPS with little loss of enemy visibility.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
