On a NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Until Dawn runs at roughly 43 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 21FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Until Dawn is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 43 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 21 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 43 FPS at 1080p and 26 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 15 FPS at 4K. Until Dawn offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Until Dawn 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 21 | 43 |
| 1440p | 13 | 26 |
| 4K | 7 | 15 |

Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Global Illumination (Lumen) and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
