Settings I came up with, if your PC matches the recommended specs, resulting in 60@1080 FPS 90 – 95% of the times.
Sample of Outdated Hardware
- CPU – I7 8700k
- GPU – Nvidia 1080 GTX – 8GB
- RAM – 16GB GSkill
- SSD – 1TB Samsung Evo
All the settings and configuration I recommend, after tinkering around for quiet some hours, relay on my hardware which kind of matches the recommendations for Remenant 2, which in my opinon is more like the minimum requirements.
In-Game Settings
Prefered Setting
- Display Mode: Fullscreen
- Motion Blur: Off

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 figured out that matching the in-game FPS limiter with the NVIDIA Settings reduced the overall load on my GPU by a lot. Otherwise, if one of them was high than the other my GPU in terms of heat went up by more than 10 °C.
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
With this settings my CPU and GPU stay between 60 – 70 °C. In combat I have either no or very little drops in FPS.
I tried everything with setting my monitor to 100 FPS and hence the in-game and NVIDIA setting for FPS to 50. This way the game performs even better but 50 FPS is not really what you want if you may get 90 – 95% of the times 60 FPS.
