Best Ghost of Tsushima settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Ghost of Tsushima runs at roughly 117 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 118FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Ghost of Tsushima is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 117 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 194 FPS at 1080p and 117 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. 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.
