Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC guide: Best settings for RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Super

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has finally swung its way onto PC, and capable hardware like the Nvidia RTX 4070 and 4070 Super can play it with a breeze. Nixxes was in charge of the port, which explains the game's performance and optimization. You can expect close to 100 FPS at 1440p, the intended resolution for the 70-class video cards. However, a couple of graphics settings tweaks are necessary.

In this guide, we'll explore the optimal settings for both GPUs to help you achieve the perfect balance between visual quality and performance.

The RTX 4070 Super isn't much faster than its $549 sibling. We're using a combination of Ultra and Very High settings options. RT Shadows and Ambient Occlusion remain disabled, as their performance impact isn't justified by the minimal visual improvement they provide, even with the Super's additional horsepower. The only difference you'll notice is higher framerates.

• Window Mode: Fullscreen
• Display Resolution: 2560 x 1440
