Best Stellar Blade 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), Stellar Blade runs at roughly 85 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 86FPS 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 Stellar Blade is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 85 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 85 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Stellar Blade 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.
