Best Pacific Drive settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Pacific Drive runs at roughly 104 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 105FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Pacific Drive is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 104 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 174 FPS at 1080p and 104 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 80 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	175	174
1440p	105	104
4K	60	80

💡 Pacific Drive: Volumetric Fog is the heaviest setting - the Zone's storms are where FPS dips, so tune for the worst case.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSOff

Pacific Drive supports DLSS and FSR. The Olympic Exclusion Zone’s effects are heavy — turn this on first at 1440p and up.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness on the car and world. Nearly free if it fits your VRAM.

Volumetric Fog QualityHighbaseline

The Zone’s ever-present mist and anomaly haze — the heaviest setting in the game. High→Medium is a big win in storms.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution — your headlights cast dynamic shadows at night, which is where this costs most.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Anomaly particles, electrical arcs and storm debris. Lowering helps exactly when the Zone gets chaotic.

Foliage QualityHighbaseline

The Pacific Northwest forests lining every road.

View DistanceHighbaseline

Draw distance down the long forest roads. Lowering causes pop-in ahead of the car.

Post ProcessingHighbaseline

Bloom, grain and the retro screen effects. Cheap to lower.
