Best Ghost of Tsushima settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Ghost of Tsushima runs at roughly 113 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 115FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB 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 113 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 113 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Ghost of Tsushima, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

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.
