Best Silent Hill 2 (Remake) 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), Silent Hill 2 (Remake) runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 43FPS 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 Silent Hill 2 (Remake) 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 66 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 66 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 38 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Silent Hill 2 (Remake) 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	43	66
1440p	26	60
4K	15	38

💡 Silent Hill 2 (Remake): Unreal Engine 5 — watch for traversal stutter; upscaling helps a lot.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Silent Hill 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. Practically required - UE5 traversal is demanding.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline

Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest setting. High over Epic frees a lot of FPS.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

Reflections (Lumen)Highbaseline

Reflections on wet streets - very visible in foggy Silent Hill. High is a clean trade.

Volumetric FogHighbaseline

The signature fog - heavy for the look but central to the atmosphere. High is a fair balance.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Flashlight particles and combat effects. Lower is more readable in tense fights.

View DistanceHighbaseline

How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered - the fog hides most of it.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
