Best Pacific Drive settings for the RTX 4070 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 4070 Laptop (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Pacific Drive runs at roughly 108 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 109FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The RTX 4070 Laptop is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Pacific Drive is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 108 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 108 FPS at 1080p and 65 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	109	108
1440p	65	65
4K	37	61

💡 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.
