Can the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti run Cronos: The New Dawn? (2026)

✅ Yes

~77 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is a mainstream 1080p card with 6GB of VRAM, and Cronos: The New Dawn is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 77 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 58 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	58	77
1440p	35	61
4K	20	50

💡 Cronos: The New Dawn: Unreal Engine 5 horror - Lumen GI and Reflections are the heavy hitters; upscaling near-essential at 1440p and up.

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

At 1080p expect around 77 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 50 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
