Best Split Fiction settings for the NVIDIA GTX 980 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 980 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Split Fiction runs at roughly 76 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 57FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 980 is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Split Fiction is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 76 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 57 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 45 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Split Fiction (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. A free FPS boost on a well-optimised game.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Shader QualityHighbaseline
Material shading detail - drastically impacts performance in this game. High is a clean trade over Epic.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Particle effects - sand, smoke, debris and explosions across the wild set-pieces. Lowering smooths the busiest moments.
Detail LevelHighbaseline
Level of detail (LOD) - how far objects render at full quality. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Post-Processing QualityHighbaseline
Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing (Temporal AA / FSR 3). Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps surfaces sharp at distance. Effectively free - leave it at 16x.
