Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is finally out now on all platforms, including PC. The game offers a huge open world for you to explore, filled with forests, landmarks, and plenty of other spots. However, to get the most out of the game, you need to make sure you’re using the right settings – ones that will help you achieve the best visual quality possible while keeping the FPS high.

Unlike FPS games like Black Ops 6, you don't need extremely high FPS. Instead, anything over 60 is more than enough, and you should aim to achieve this without sacrificing visual quality. I’ll walk you through the best settings I've used to get over 100 FPS in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on PC at 1440p without compromising the visual quality.

What are the best Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 PC settings for high FPS and stunning visuals?

Before we get into the settings, let’s take a look at the rig I'm using. My PC is equipped with the RTX 3080, Ryzen 5 5600X, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Even though the RTX 3080 is over four years old, it's still a solid card for gaming. With the settings listed below, I was able to achieve between 90 and 120 FPS at 1440p. When I switched the resolution to 4K, the FPS dropped below 50. However, to boost it to 60 at 4K, you’ll need to set Object Quality to Medium, Lighting and Shadows to Low, and Textures to Medium or Low.

On the other hand, if you’re playing the game at 1080p, you’ll get much higher FPS with the same settings. However, we recommend setting Particles, Lighting, and a few other settings to High at 1080p. This will bring the FPS close to 60 or slightly above it, while keeping the visuals stunning.

In any case, here are the best Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 PC settings for high FPS and stunning visual quality.

Additional tips to optimize performance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on PC

Apart from adjusting the settings, there are a few extra steps you can take to further optimize performance. These are especially important for systems with low-end hardware.

• Update GPU drivers: Intel, AMD, and Nvidia release new drivers for their GPUs from time to time, and these are mostly meant to add support for latest and upcoming games. So, make sure you’ve updated your GPU drivers before playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as you can run into performance related issues otherwise.
• Close background applications: While playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on PC, make sure that you don’t have any applications open in the background, especially demanding software. This is because your system will then need to divide the resources among multiple applications, preventing the game from getting the resources it needs to operate smoothly.

Conclusion

Overall, by using the best graphics settings mentioned in this guide and the tips we’ve shared to further optimize performance, you should be able to enjoy Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with high FPS and stunning visual quality. If you’re unable to achieve the frame rate you want, just keep adjusting the settings. However, keep in mind that for 1440p or 4K, you’ll need a powerful GPU to get the best graphics possible.
