Best Marathon settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Marathon runs at roughly 66 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 67FPS 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 Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 66 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 152 FPS at 1080p and 116 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Marathon, 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.

💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest single FPS gain — turn it on first, especially at 1440p and up.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference in a fight.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the map and players render — key for spotting threats in an extraction shooter, and partly CPU-bound.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Gunfire and ability effects. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Foliage / DetailHighbaseline
Environment density. Cheap to lower, and less cover hiding enemies.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom and lens effects. Low gives a cleaner, clearer image.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
