Best Grounded 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Grounded 2 runs at roughly 150 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 150FPS 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 Grounded 2 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 1440p — about 150 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 227 FPS at 1080p and 150 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 85 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Grounded 2, 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.

💡 Grounded 2: UE5 - the shrunk-down backyard is all foliage, so Foliage Quality is the heaviest lever.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Grounded 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS and FSR — the biggest GPU win, and it tames the dense backyard foliage.
Quality PresetHighbaseline
Grounded 2's early-access menu is deliberately minimal — a single visuals preset (Low-Epic) drives nearly all detail, including the dense backyard foliage that dominates the frame cost. Granular tuning needs config-file edits.
Render Scale100%baseline
Internal render resolution on top of upscaling. Dropping below 100% is a strong FPS lever at some sharpness cost.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing on the tiny-scale detail. Medium keeps the yard crisp cheaply.
