Best Hunt: Showdown 1896 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), Hunt: Showdown 1896 runs at roughly 88 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 88FPS 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 Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 88 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 88 FPS at 1080p and 71 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
