Best Death Stranding Director’s Cut settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Death Stranding Director’s Cut runs at roughly 93 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 94FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Death Stranding Director’s Cut is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 4K — about 93 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 164 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 93 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Death Stranding Director’s Cut, 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.
