Best Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 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), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 runs at roughly 69 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 52FPS 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 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 69 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 52 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 69 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 47 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 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.
