Best Atomic Heart settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Atomic Heart runs at roughly 86 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 86FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Atomic Heart is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 86 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 251 FPS at 1080p and 151 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 86 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Atomic Heart, 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.

Upscaling — DLSSOff
Atomic Heart (Unreal Engine 4) supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost on a well-optimised game.
TexturesUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ultra wants 12GB+.
ShadowsHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Epic.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Contact shadows and depth in the colourful Soviet facility. High is a clean trade.
Volumetric FogMediumbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts - a real cost. Medium keeps the mood for less.
Visual FXHighbaseline
Combat and ability effects. Lowering smooths the chaotic robot fights.
Number of ObjectsHighbaseline
Object and prop density in the scene - partly CPU-bound. High is a safe trim from Epic.
MaterialsHighbaseline
Surface shading realism on the facility's ornate surfaces. High is a clean, cheap trade.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Reflections, bloom and colour grading. Cheap; set to taste.
