HumanitZ graphics settings

Optimal HumanitZ graphics settings according to the FPSHQ model: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 holds 60 FPS at 1080p on the Ultra preset (57–89 FPS); entry-level cards like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB should use Low at 1080p (53–86 FPS). For 144 FPS at 1080p you need NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080-class performance on the Medium preset (125–195 FPS). Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement); data as of Oct 15, 2026.

How do I increase FPS in HumanitZ?

model estimate Per the FPSHQ model, a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p delivers 57–89 FPS in HumanitZ on Ultra, 67–105 on High, 81–130 on Medium and 100–155 on Low: dropping from Ultra to Medium gives +42% frames, to Low +74%. The fastest way to raise FPS is to lower the 3–4 heaviest settings from the list below, then enable upscaling, and only then reduce the render resolution.

HumanitZ is a moderately demanding RPG game (load index 63 of 100). Below we cover which graphics settings affect FPS the most and how to maximize frames.

In an RPG you spend dozens of hours in the open world, so draw distance and shadow quality matter most — they build the atmosphere but also load the system hardest. Find a balance between visuals and a stable 60 FPS.

The developers of HumanitZ recommend a GPU around Nvidia RTX 2060. If yours is weaker, follow the tips above; if stronger, you can raise settings and resolution without losing smoothness.

Does HumanitZ have DLSS, FSR or XeSS?

FPSHQ data shows no DLSS, FSR or XeSS support in HumanitZ. What is left: the graphics preset, the render-resolution scale (if the game has one) and driver-level scaling — NVIDIA Image Scaling or AMD RSR.

What to do outside the game

  1. Update your GPU drivers to the latest version.
  2. Close background apps (browser, Discord overlay).
  3. Turn on Windows Game Mode and the High performance power plan; keep a laptop plugged in — on battery the GPU runs at a reduced power limit.
  4. If FPS fluctuates, cap it slightly below your monitor's refresh rate (in-game or in the driver panel) — frame pacing gets smoother and the GPU stops running flat out.
  5. If nothing helps — lower the render resolution.

Steps are general practice; the numbers above come from the FPSHQ model (GeForce RTX 3060), not a measurement on your PC.

What to lower first in HumanitZ

If FPS is below your target, go down this list from the top: first come the settings that load the GPU the most in most games.

  1. Volumetric effects (fog, clouds, light) big FPS impact
    Volumetric fog and clouds are computed every frame; dropping them from max to medium usually gives a solid gain with little visual difference.
  2. Shadow quality and distance big FPS impact
    Shadow map resolution and draw distance are among the most expensive raster settings, especially in open worlds. Medium is a sensible compromise.
  3. Reflections (SSR) noticeable impact
    High-quality screen-space reflections noticeably load the GPU; on medium the difference shows mostly on water and glossy surfaces.
  4. Ambient occlusion noticeable impact
    Adds depth to the scene. Heavy variants (HBAO+, RTAO) can be swapped for simpler SSAO.
  5. Draw distance and level of detail noticeable impact
    Affects both the GPU and the CPU (more objects per frame). If you are CPU-bound, start here and with crowd/foliage density.
  6. Anti-aliasing noticeable impact
    MSAA and supersampling are very heavy; TAA or the upscaler's anti-aliasing (DLAA/FSR Native AA) give a comparable image for less.
  7. Texture quality depends on VRAM
    Barely affects FPS as long as VRAM is sufficient; when VRAM runs out you get stutters and texture pop-in. GeForce RTX 3060 has 12 GB of VRAM — you can max out textures, it costs almost no FPS.
  8. Post-processing (motion blur, depth of field, film grain) almost no impact
    Cheap in FPS and mostly a matter of taste; motion blur is often turned off for clarity.
  9. Anisotropic filtering almost no impact
    Almost free on modern GPUs — keep it at 8x–16x.

These are general rules for most games: the exact impact of each setting depends on the engine and the scene. FPS numbers on this page are FPSHQ unified model estimates for whole presets.

Which CPU you need for HumanitZ

At high FPS the CPU becomes the limit. In the FPSHQ model the CPU ceiling depends on its Gaming Score and on the game's demand (HumanitZ: 63/100).

TargetGaming ScorePopular CPU example
60 FPS≥ 2,130Xeon E5-2650 v2
120 FPS≥ 4,260Ryzen 5 3600XT
144 FPS≥ 5,112Core i7-11700K

Gaming Score is the CPU gaming index in the FPSHQ catalog. The minimum is set so that the model's CPU ceiling does not drop below the target.

FAQ

What graphics settings should I use in HumanitZ on the GeForce RTX 3060?
On the GeForce RTX 3060 in HumanitZ the optimal choice is 1080p with the Ultra preset — the FPSHQ model gives 57–89 FPS. For more frames lower shadows and volumetric effects or enable upscaling.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in HumanitZ?

Which settings affect FPS the most in HumanitZ?
As in most games, FPS drops the most from volumetric effects (fog, clouds), shadow quality and distance, reflections and heavy anti-aliasing. Textures barely matter as long as there is enough VRAM.
Why is my FPS in HumanitZ lower than in the table?
The values are calculated without a CPU bottleneck, on current drivers. Real FPS depends on your CPU, memory speed and channel mode, background apps, game version and the specific scene. For a stable 60 FPS the CPU should be at least at the Xeon E5-2650 v2 level.
How do I increase FPS in HumanitZ?
Lower the heaviest settings (shadows, volumetric effects), then enable upscaling and update your driver. Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p, going from Ultra to Medium in HumanitZ gives +42% FPS.
How much FPS do I gain in HumanitZ going from Ultra to Medium?
Per the FPSHQ model on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p: 57–89 FPS on Ultra, 67–105 on High, 81–130 on Medium, 100–155 on Low — Medium gives +42% over Ultra, Low +74%.
