Remnant 2: Settings for Recommended Specs

• 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.

• 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

1. View Distance Quality: Medium -> Low
2. Effects Quality: Medium -> Low
3. Upscaler Quality: Quality -> Balanced

• 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, matching the in-game FPS limiter together with the NVIDIA Settings, reduced the overall load on my GPU my a lot. Otherwise if on of them was high than the other my GPU in terms of heat went up by more than 10 °C.

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

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.

Have fun.
