Best Grounded 2 settings for the ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) (2026)

On a ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Grounded 2 runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 62FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Grounded 2 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 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 62 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 47 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR 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 — FSROff
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.
