Best Ghost of Tsushima 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), Ghost of Tsushima runs at roughly 106 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 107FPS 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 Ghost of Tsushima is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 106 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 106 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 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	107	106
1440p	64	64
4K	37	61

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSOff

Ghost of Tsushima supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A smooth port - upscaling is particularly effective here.

Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution. High is a great value pick over Very High.

Foliage QualityHighbaseline

Grass and vegetation density - significant in the open-world fields. One of the bigger GPU costs.

Reflection QualityHighbaseline

Water and surface reflections. High is clean and cheaper than Very High.

Particle QualityHighbaseline

Smoke, embers and weather effects. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.

Depth of FieldOnbaseline

Cinematic blur on near and far objects. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps distant ground surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.

Volumetric FogHighbaseline

Mist and atmospheric haze across the island. A solid, low-risk saving.

Level of DetailHighbaseline

How far full-detail geometry renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
