Best Arma Reforger settings for the Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) (2026)

On a Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Arma Reforger runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 25FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Arma Reforger is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Arma Reforger at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Arma Reforger: Enfusion engine - heavily CPU-bound on full servers; View Distance is by far the biggest lever.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Reforger supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest GPU-side gain — though on full servers your CPU is usually the real limit.
View Distance / Object DetailLow+16% FPS
How far the huge map renders. By far the heaviest setting, and it leans hard on the CPU — lowering it is the best fix for low FPS on populated servers.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range across open terrain. High is a big saving over Ultra for little visible loss.
Volumetric CloudsLow+8% FPS
Cloud detail. Surprisingly costly — a cheap, near-invisible saving on the ground.
Effects QualityLow+7% FPS
Smoke and explosions. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Terrain / FoliageMedium+5% FPS
Grass and ground detail. Costly, and lower settings stop tall grass hiding prone players up close.
Post ProcessingMedium+2% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Ultra.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
