Best Broken Arrow settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Broken Arrow runs at roughly 98 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 99FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Broken Arrow is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 98 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 98 FPS at 1080p and 79 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 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	99	98
1440p	60	79
4K	34	63

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

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSOff

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

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

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

Unit / Model DetailHighbaseline

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 QualityHighbaseline

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

Effects / ExplosionsHighbaseline

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

Terrain & FoliageHighbaseline

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

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

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