Best Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 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), Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 runs at roughly 89 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 90FPS 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 Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 89 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 89 FPS at 1080p and 72 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.

Upscaling — DLSSOff
Space Marine 2 supports DLSS and FSR. A strong GPU-side boost, useful given the huge enemy swarms.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Gore, gunfire and explosion effects - and there are thousands of enemies. Lowering smooths the swarms.
VolumetricsHighbaseline
Resolution of fog, godrays and particle effects. A solid saving on open battlefields.
Screen Space ReflectionsDefaultbaseline
On-screen reflections on armour and wet surfaces. Default is nearly free; High costs a few percent.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the battlefield renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Screen Space Ambient OcclusionDefaultbaseline
Soft contact shadows in corners and crevices. Default is almost free; High covers finer geometry.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the carnage clean cheaply.
