Best Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order settings for the NVIDIA GTX 980 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 980 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order runs at roughly 76 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 77FPS 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 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 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. 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 76 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: Unreal Engine 4 (2019) - no upscaling in the menu; some traversal stutter is engine-side, not your settings.
Recommended settings
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Fine at Epic on 6GB+ cards.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far detail renders - partly CPU-bound. Lower it if you hit traversal stutter between zones.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range - the biggest single cost. High looks nearly identical to Epic for less.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing (TAA). Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply - no DLSS/FSR in this 2019 release.
Visual EffectsHighbaseline
Lightsaber sparks and Force effects. Lowering smooths the busiest fights.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
