Best Graphics Settings for Space Marine 2 on RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti
Display Settings
- Display Mode: Fullscreen
- Resolution: Native
- Render Resolution: Native (For the sharpest visuals, keep the render resolution at Native.)
- Resolution Upscaling- FSR/TAA/ DLSS
- VSync: Off (Turn off VSync unless you’re experiencing noticeable screen tearing. It can add input lag, so leaving it off ensures a more responsive experience.)
- Motion Blur Intensity: Off
- FPS Limit: Unlimited
Graphics Quality Settings

- Quality Preset: Custom (Start at Medium and tweak settings. Medium provides a good baseline without too much of a performance hit. You can customize it from here.)
- Texture Filtering: High (This setting enhances the details of textures and has almost no FPS impact, so max it out for the best visual fidelity.)
- Texture Resolution: High to Ultra
- Shadows: Medium (Shadows can significantly impact performance. Medium provides a good balance between visual quality and FPS. Higher settings will drain FPS without much of a visual upgrade.)
- Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO): High (Ambient occlusion adds depth to the shadows and lighting. There is little FPS loss between Default and High, so it’s worth keeping on High for richer environments.)
- Screen Space Reflections: Default (Reflections can be taxing on performance. The Default setting strikes a balance between quality and FPS. Higher settings can cause a performance hit of 10-12%, so avoid them if you want smooth gameplay.)
- Volumetric Effects: Medium (Volumetric effects can tank your FPS.)
- Effects: High
- Details: Medium (Ground textures and small environment details don’t need to be cranked up. Medium offers a visually appealing experience without sacrificing too much FPS.)
- Cloth Simulation: Medium (This setting impacts how cloth moves. Since it’s more CPU-bound, keeping this at Medium should ensure smooth performance while retaining some visual realism.)
These settings should help you enjoy Space Marine 2 with fluid gameplay on both the Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti, ensuring that you get the best visuals without dropping performance.
