Best Tom Clancy’s The Division 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), Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 runs at roughly 73 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 74FPS 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 The Division 2 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 73 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 73 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Tom Clancy’s The Division 2: Snowdrop engine - well-optimised; Volumetric Fog is the heaviest setting, so drop it a notch first.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
The Division 2 supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
Volumetric FogHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts — one of the heaviest settings here for a subtle look. Drop it a notch first.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Global (and local) reflections on glass and wet streets. Medium/High is plenty in firefights.
Particle DetailHighbaseline
Number and quality of gunfire, smoke and explosion particles - drops most in busy fights. Medium keeps it steady.
Vegetation QualityHighbaseline
Density of grass and plants across the overgrown DC. A cheap trim in open areas.
Object / Extra Streaming DistanceMediumbaseline
How far detailed objects render — partly a CPU cost in the open city. Medium avoids pop-in cheaply.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shading. Medium (HBAO) is a good balance of looks and cost.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Low/High keeps the busy cityscape clean cheaply.
