Best The Finals 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), The Finals runs at roughly 71 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 72FPS 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 The Finals is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 71 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 71 FPS at 1080p and 66 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 The Finals: Destructible buildings make this unusually CPU-heavy in busy fights.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. With the CPU-heavy destruction engine, upscaling is the most effective relief.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Global IlluminationHighbaseline
Bounced lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. Medium frees real frames.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution. Medium/High is the standard competitive pick.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Surface reflections. Moderate cost and rarely noticed mid-fight.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Explosions and destruction effects, and The Finals throws a lot of them. Lowering smooths the chaos.
Shading QualityHighbaseline
Material and surface shading detail. High is a clean, cheap trade over Epic.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the arena renders at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plants and destructible scenery. A small, safe gain when lowered.
Post ProcessHighbaseline
Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the fast action clean cheaply.
