Best Warframe settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Warframe runs at roughly 190 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 190FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and Warframe is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it flies at 4K — about 190 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 263 FPS at 1080p and 263 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 190 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Warframe, 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Warframe (Evolution Engine) supports DLSS, FSR and its own TAA upscaler. Helpful at 4K, though the game is light overall.
Particle System QualityMediumbaseline
Ability and weapon effects - the heaviest setting given how many abilities fly around. Medium smooths big fights.
Volumetric LightingLowbaseline
Atmospheric light shafts and fog. A solid, low-risk saving when lowered.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a clean trade.
Local ReflectionsOnbaseline
Screen-space reflections on shiny floors. A small saving when off.
BloomOnbaseline
Glow around bright lights and effects. Cheap; set to taste.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Background blur in cutscenes. A tiny saving - off is fine.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps floors and distant surfaces sharp - essentially free, use 16x.
Texture MemoryHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
