Best Mafia: The Old Country settings for mid-range GPUs

Mafia: The Old Country's system requirements are demanding, even for mid-range hardware that typically handles most games at 1440p without breaking a sweat. Hangar 13 has mandated an RTX 3080 Ti for comfortable QHD performance, which shows just how resource-hungry this new release is. Gamers with mid-range cards from the RTX 4060 Ti to RTX 4070 range, along with AMD's RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT, will need some serious settings-tweaking to hit playable framerates.

The good news is that Mafia: The Old Country ships with support for all upscaling and frame generation technologies. You'll need to rely on them, as native rendering will leave you with slideshow-like performance. Read on to find out the ideal settings combinations for mid-range gaming PCs.

Mid-range Nvidia GPU settings for Mafia: The Old Country

For mid-range Nvidia GPUs, we are considering the RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 from Ampere, 4060 Ti 16 GB, 4070, and 4070 Super from Ada Lovelace, and the RTX 5060 Ti from this generation.

Mid-range GPU owners should expect 50-60 FPS at 1440p in the game, although those on older 30-series cards should drop the resolution to 1080p. Multi-frame Generation can push these numbers significantly higher; however, that's locked to 50-series GPUs. Cards with 12 GB or more VRAM are mandatory for a smooth experience, as the game occupies more than 8 GB of memory even with the Medium settings preset.

Here's the detailed settings recommendation for Mafia: The Old Country:

Mafia: The Old Country is a surprisingly demanding (and screenshot-worthy) game that pushes graphical fidelity to the absolute maximum. Don't be surprised if your GPU can't hit triple-digit numbers in the title. On mid-range cards, hitting 60 FPS can be challenging if you're not relying on frame generation/upscaling.
