Best Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands 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), Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands runs at roughly 78 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 59FPS 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 Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 78 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 59 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 78 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Wildlands predates DLSS/FSR, but its render-scale slider is the biggest GPU lever — drop below 100% for a strong FPS gain at some sharpness cost.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. High for 6GB cards, Ultra for 8GB+.
Godrays QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric sun shafts through clouds and trees — notoriously the heaviest setting in Wildlands. High to Medium is a large free FPS gain.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and draw distance across the huge open world. High is a big saving over Ultra.
Terrain QualityHighbaseline
Tessellation and detail of the ground and mountains. Ultra is costly for little gain over High.
Objects / Vegetation DetailHighbaseline
Density and draw distance of grass, trees and world objects across Bolivia. Medium/High smooths flying and driving.
Turf EffectsOnbaseline
Individually simulated grass blades that react to the player — a real cost. Off is a safe FPS win.
Ambient OcclusionHBAO+baseline
Soft contact shading. HBAO+ is the sensible middle; Ultra costs more for a subtle gain.
Anti-AliasingSMAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. SMAA is a clean, cheap default; TXAA is softer and slightly heavier.
