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

Running Mafia: The Old Country on low-end hardware is tough, as the game's official minimum requirements call for an RTX 2070 or RX 5700 XT. This could be beyond the capabilities of most low-end video cards. However, GPUs like the RTX 3060, RTX 4060, RX 6600, and RX 6650 XT are quite capable and can easily deliver a playable experience with some tweaks to the game’s settings.

You'll have to aggressively rely on upscaling and lower video settings in the game for it to run at 1080p native resolution. Frame Generation becomes critical here; however, not all low-end cards support it.

Nvidia’s entry-level cards can run Mafia: The Old Country reasonably well thanks to DLSS upscaling. The RTX 5060 and 4060's DLSS 3 Frame Generation gives it a massive advantage. However, RTX 3060 and GTX 1660 Super owners might struggle due to the lack of Frame Generation and weaker rendering potential.

Here's our recommended graphics settings for entry-level GPUs from Team Green:

Display Settings

• Resolution: 1080p (all cards)
• Screen Mode: Borderless Fullscreen
• V-Sync: Off
• Gameplay Frame Rate: 60 (RTX 4060), 30-60 (others)
