Best Death Stranding 2: On the Beach settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5060 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5060 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Death Stranding 2: On the Beach runs at roughly 128 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 130FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5060 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 128 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 128 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 68 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
