Best Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2080 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 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 65 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 65 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 59 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 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.
