Best 007 First Light settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), 007 First Light runs at roughly 118 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 120FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3090 is a high-end graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and 007 First Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 118 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 197 FPS at 1080p and 118 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 67 FPS at 4K. 007 First Light supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3090 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for 007 First Light, 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.

💡 007 First Light: Glacier engine (the Hitman engine) is well-optimised - upscaling plus High settings hits high frame rates comfortably.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
007 First Light runs on IO Interactive's Glacier engine (the Hitman engine), which supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections on Bond's polished, mirror-filled locations. A real cost for a classy gain - keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness, shown with a VRAM estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on water, glass and marble floors when ray tracing is off. Glacier leans on these - Medium is a clean trade.
Simulation QualityMediumbaseline
Crowd density and physics detail - a Glacier-engine signature in busy missions. Medium keeps frametimes steady in packed crowds.
Volumetric LightingMediumbaseline
Atmospheric light shafts and fog. Medium is an easy win that's hard to notice in motion.
Ambient OcclusionSSAObaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Level of DetailHighbaseline
How detailed distant objects stay. High avoids obvious pop-in; drop to Medium for frames.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces (floors, walls) sharp into the distance. Practically free - leave at 16x.
