Best The Finals settings for RTX 4090
Recommended at 4k: expect 117–150 FPS after applying the playbook below. Range derived from published benchmark measurements for this game. RTX 4090 pairs cleanly with The Finals — no single component is the wall.
Your RTX 4090 and The Finals are paired well — neither is the runaway bottleneck. The biggest FPS gains come from a balanced cut: drop a couple of expensive effects (shadows, volumetrics) without touching what makes the game look like The Finals.
Apply these settings in The Finals
Ranked by FPS impact for tier S hardware. Apply the high-impact ones first — top three usually account for 60% of the gain.
NVIDIA-specific tweaks
These are in NVIDIA Control Panel + GeForce App.
Single biggest input-latency improvement on NVIDIA. ~10–25 ms reduction depending on title. Always on.
Windows Settings → Display → Graphics. Enables CPU offload for GPU work scheduling. Small but consistent gain.
NVIDIA Control Panel → 3D Settings → set per game. Forces full clocks during play.
How The Finals runs on RTX 4090
The Finals runs on the Unreal Engine 5 engine. At 24GB VRAM, the RTX 4090 handles this engine's rendering pipeline with some settings adjustments. The engine's rendering pipeline balances visual quality with performance, making settings optimization meaningful for S-tier hardware.
At this hardware tier, every setting matters. Start with everything on Low, then selectively raise Texture Quality and Anti-Aliasing if you have FPS headroom above your target.
Known quirks for RTX 4090 in The Finals
- •Monitor VRAM usage in-game — 24GB can be tight at Ultra settings
- •Enable NVIDIA Reflex if available for lower input latency
- •Update NVIDIA drivers before optimizing — stale drivers can leave 5-10% FPS on the table
How we rank these settings
BetterFPS ranks each setting by its FPS-per-quality-cost ratio for your GPU tier. We pull from engine documentation, community benchmarks, and driver release notes to estimate each setting's render cost on NVIDIA S-tier hardware at 4k. High-impact settings are those where disabling or lowering them recovers significant frame time with minimal perceptible quality loss. The personalized optimizer refines these further using your CPU, RAM, and monitor refresh rate.
About the RTX 4090
The RTX 4090 (2022 release, 24GB VRAM) is a flagship card. At 4k in The Finals, the biggest FPS levers are upscaling, shadow detail, and brand-specific latency reducers (NVIDIA Reflex). The settings above are the floor — for a fully personalized playbook factoring CPU, RAM, and your monitor refresh rate, run BetterFPS.
