Best Deliver Us Mars 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), Deliver Us Mars runs at roughly 79 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 80FPS 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 Deliver Us Mars is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 79 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 79 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Deliver Us Mars offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Deliver Us Mars supports DLSS (with Frame Generation on RTX 40+) and FSR. The biggest FPS lever — enable it first at 1440p and up.
Ray Traced ShadowsOffsaves FPS
The game offers ray-traced shadows — they look great in the harsh Martian sunlight but cost a big chunk of FPS. Off first when chasing frames.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness on suits and terrain. Nearly free with 6GB+ VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Standard shadow resolution. High looks nearly identical to Epic on the dunes.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Dust storms, engine exhaust and particle effects. Lowering helps most in the storm sequences.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the Martian terrain renders in detail. Moderate cost in the open exterior sections.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, lens flares and film effects. Cheap to lower with little visible cost.
Foliage / Clutter QualityHighbaseline
Ground clutter and rock detail — Mars is sparse, so this is cheaper here than in most games.
