Best Broken Arrow settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Broken Arrow runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 28FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Broken Arrow is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 28 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	28	62
1440p	17	39
4K	10	22

💡 Broken Arrow: Large-scale modern-warfare RTS - big battles are partly CPU-bound; lower Unit Detail and Effects first.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS

Broken Arrow supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially in big battles.

Unit / Model DetailLow+12% FPS

How detailed the many on-screen units are — partly a CPU cost in large battles. High is a safe trim when the field fills up.

Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS

Shadow resolution and range — heavy across a big map. High is a strong step down from Ultra.

Terrain & FoliageLow+7% FPS

Ground detail and vegetation density. High is fine; lower it for frames on weaker GPUs.

Effects / ExplosionsMedium+4% FPS

Explosions, smoke and tracer effects — these tank FPS in heavy firefights. Medium smooths the worst dips.

Anti-AliasingSMAA+2% FPS

Edge smoothing. TAA gives a softer image; SMAA is sharper but shimmers on the zoomed-out map.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
