Best Grounded 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Grounded 2 runs at roughly 93 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 93FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Grounded 2 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — 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 93 FPS at 1080p and 75 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 64 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Grounded 2: UE5 - the shrunk-down backyard is all foliage, so Foliage Quality is the heaviest lever.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Grounded 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS and FSR — the biggest GPU win, and it tames the dense backyard foliage.
Quality PresetHighbaseline
Grounded 2's early-access menu is deliberately minimal — a single visuals preset (Low-Epic) drives nearly all detail, including the dense backyard foliage that dominates the frame cost. Granular tuning needs config-file edits.
Render Scale100%baseline
Internal render resolution on top of upscaling. Dropping below 100% is a strong FPS lever at some sharpness cost.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing on the tiny-scale detail. Medium keeps the yard crisp cheaply.
