Best God of War (2018) settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5050 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), God of War (2018) runs at roughly 105 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 106FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5050 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and God of War (2018) is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 105 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 105 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — DLSSOff
God of War (2018 PC port) supports DLSS and FSR. A free boost on an already well-optimised game.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityOriginalbaseline
Shadow resolution and range - one of the heavier settings. 'Original' (the PS4 look) or High is the value pick.
Reflections QualityOriginalbaseline
Reflections on water, ice and metal. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Ambient OcclusionOriginalbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Original/High is plenty.
Atmospherics QualityOriginalbaseline
Volumetric fog and god rays across the Nine Realms. High is a clean trade.
Model QualityOriginalbaseline
Geometry detail on Kratos and the world. High looks great; lower for frames.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp into the distance - essentially free, use 16x.
