Best The Last of Us Part II Remastered settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), The Last of Us Part II Remastered runs at roughly 90 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 92FPS 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 The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 90 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 150 FPS at 1080p and 90 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 69 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for The Last of Us Part II Remastered, 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.

💡 The Last of Us Part II Remastered: VRAM-hungry - on 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest single FPS gain — turn it on first; Quality mode is very close to native in this game.
Texture QualityUltra-2% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. This game is VRAM-hungry; on 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and draw distance. High looks almost identical to Ultra while running noticeably faster.
Screen Space ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. One of the first things to lower — the drop is hard to spot in motion.
Bounced LightingHighbaseline
Indirect bounce lighting that defines the mood - one of the heaviest settings (turning it off can gain ~10%). High is a clean trade.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows that ground objects and characters. Medium is a fine, subtle saving.
Dynamic Objects QualityHighbaseline
Geometry detail of weapons and interactive objects by distance. Lowering is a small, safe gain.
Level of Detail (Geometry)Highbaseline
How far full-detail models render before simplifying. Lowering causes mild pop-in on distant scenery.
Motion Blur / Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Pure preference and barely touches FPS — many players switch these off for a cleaner image.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at glancing angles. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
