Can the NVIDIA GTX 950 run Mafia II: Definitive Edition? (2026)

✅ Yes

~70 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 950 is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 70 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 52 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	52	70
1440p	31	61
4K	18	38

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 70 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 38 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
