Best Mafia: The Old Country settings for high-end GPUs

Mafia: The Old Country launches this Thursday, August 7, with demanding system requirements that are high even for 2025 standards. Even the minimum specifications call for an RTX 2070 or RX 5700 XT, while recommended settings demand much more powerful hardware. The game is highly screenshot-worthy, which means high-end Nvidia and AMD graphics cards can be pushed to their limits for the extra eye candy.

Native rendering isn't feasible for most players, which is why the game ships with all kinds of upscaling features. That said, you'll need to carefully balance visual quality with performance in Mafia: The Old Country, given that the game can look spectacular. In this article, we have compiled the ideal system requirements for flagship-grade hardware from Nvidia and AMD.

Nvidia's high-end lineup handles Mafia: The Old Country exceptionally well. For this list, we are considering RTX 3080 Ti and above in the Turing lineup, RTX 4070 Ti and up from the last-generation catalogue, and RTX 5070 Ti and above for Blackwell.

RTX 50-series cards have the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation wildcard, which can double or triple framerates in the new Mafia game. The 16GB VRAM buffer on RTX 4080-class cards and above ensures smooth performance at Epic texture settings. We feel 12 GB is mandated for a stable experience, even at 1440p.

Here's the ideal settings list for capable Team Green GPUs:
