Best The Callisto Protocol settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), The Callisto Protocol runs at roughly 81 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 82FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and The Callisto Protocol is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 81 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 135 FPS at 1080p and 81 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The Callisto Protocol supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super 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. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 The Callisto Protocol: Prone to shader-compilation stutter - ray tracing makes it worse.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
The Callisto Protocol (Unreal Engine 4) supports DLSS and FSR. Enable it first - the game is demanding and stutter-prone.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and shadows. Heavy and known to worsen the game's stutter - keep Off for smoother frames.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on the prison's wet metal surfaces. Medium is plenty without ray tracing.
VolumetricsMediumbaseline
Fog and light shafts - core to the grim atmosphere but a real cost. Medium is a clean trade.
ParticlesHighbaseline
Gore and combat particle effects. Lowering smooths the brutal melee fights.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
