If your PC has the recommended specifications, the settings I came up with should result in 60@1080 FPS 90–95% of the time.
Sample of Outdated Hardware
- CPU – I7 8700k
- GPU – Nvidia 1080 GTX – 8GB
- RAM – 16GB GSkill
- SSD – 1TB Samsung Evo
After spending a few hours tinkering, I’ve come up with a set of settings and configurations that all depend on hardware that, in my opinion, meets the very minimal criteria for Remnant 2.
In-Game Settings
Preferred Setting
- Display Mode: Fullscreen
- Motion Blur: Off
- VSync: On
- Framerate: 60
- Upscaler: Intel XeSS
- Upscaler Quality: Quality
- Shadow Quality: Low
- Post Processing: Low
- Foliage Quality: Low
- Effects Quality: Medium
- View Distance Quality: Medium
- FOV Modifier: 1
- Minimize Input Latency: On
Potential Optimization
1. View Distance Quality: Medium -> Low
2. Effects Quality: Medium -> Low
3. Upscaler Quality: Quality -> Balanced
NVIDIA Setting
- Anisotropic filtering: Off
- Antialiasing – FXAA: Off
- Antialiasing – Mode: Override any application settings
- Antialiasing – Setting: x2
- Max Frame Rate: 60 FPS
- Texture filtering – Anisotropic sample opti..: Off
- Texture filtering – Negative LOD bias: Allow
- Triple buffering: On
- Verticle sync: On
I discovered that adjusting the NVIDIA Settings to match the in-game FPS restriction significantly decreased the total burden on my GPU. Otherwise, my GPU’s temperature increased by more than 10 °C if one of them was higher than the other.
Windows 10
I don’t know it it makes any differences at all, but I did the following:
- Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Remnant2 -> Remnant2 – Binaries -> Win64
- right-click Remnant2-Win64-Shipping.exe
- Properties -> Compatibility -> Disable Fullscreen Optimization: checked
Results
My CPU and GPU remain between 60 and 70 °C with these settings. I get either no or very minor FPS decreases during combat.
I tried everything while setting the in-game and NVIDIA settings for FPS to 50 and my monitor to 100 FPS. In this approach, the game runs even better, although 50 frames per second isn’t really what you want when you can achieve 60 frames per second 90 to 95% of the time.
