Best RuneScape: Dragonwilds 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), RuneScape: Dragonwilds runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS 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 RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 65 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 65 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 43 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in RuneScape: Dragonwilds 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.

💡 RuneScape: Dragonwilds: Unreal Engine 5 early access - optimization is still rough; upscaling + lower Lumen GI go a long way.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is Unreal Engine 5 with full upscaler support. Essential in early access, where optimization is still rough.
SharpnessHighbaseline
Sharpening applied over upscaling (available with FSR/NIS). Set to taste - no real FPS cost.
Graphics QualityHighbaseline
The master quality preset. RuneScape: Dragonwilds' early-access menu is minimal - this single preset drives lighting, shadows, foliage, textures and effects together (no individual sliders yet). Epic uses UE5 Lumen; drop to High/Medium for the biggest FPS win.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is the balanced option; cheap to leave on.
