Best 7 Days to Die settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), 7 Days to Die runs at roughly 132 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 132FPS 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 7 Days to Die is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 1440p — about 132 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 177 FPS at 1080p and 132 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 75 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for 7 Days to Die, 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.
