Best The Outer Worlds 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 61FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 61 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 61 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 56 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Outer Worlds 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
The Outer Worlds 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first - UE5 is heavy.
Hardware Ray Tracing (Lumen)Offsaves FPS
Switches Lumen lighting to hardware ray tracing for nicer reflections - a big cost. Keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic frees real FPS.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Lumen reflections on water and metal. High is a clean trade.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Weapon and ability effects. Lowering smooths busy fights.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and scenery density on the colony worlds. A real cost outdoors.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Screen EffectsHighbaseline
Post-process screen effects - bloom, depth of field and grading. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
