Best Death Stranding 2: On the Beach settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Death Stranding 2: On the Beach runs at roughly 89 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 90FPS 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 Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 89 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 261 FPS at 1080p and 156 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 89 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, 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.
