Best Mafia II: Definitive Edition settings for the RTX 4090 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 4090 Laptop (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Mafia II: Definitive Edition runs at roughly 222 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 222FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The RTX 4090 Laptop is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 1440p — about 222 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 227 FPS at 1080p and 222 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 126 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Mafia II: Definitive Edition, so textures can stay maxed. 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	227	227
1440p	222	222
4K	126	126

💡 Mafia II: Definitive Edition: Older remaster - runs easily; watch APEX PhysX on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there).

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSOff

Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though this remaster runs easily on modern hardware.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range — the heaviest setting here. Medium is barely different from High while running faster.

Geometry DetailHighbaseline

World and object detail. High is fine on most cards; lower it only if you need frames.

APEX PhysX DetailMediumbaseline

Cloth, debris and particle physics — can tank FPS on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there). Off or Medium is safest.

Anti-Aliasing2xbaseline

Smooths jagged edges — higher levels (MSAA) get expensive. 2x is a good balance.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps road and building textures sharp at angles. Cheap — 16x is fine.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
