2K recommends DLSS and FSR for Mafia: The Old Country, even at 1080p

Mafia: The Old Country, the latest installment in the long-running cinematic crime saga, is out on August 8, and publisher 2K has released the PC specifications, hardware requirements, and features available so you can "bask in all the beauty of 1900s Sicily's sprawling countryside."

Built with Unreal Engine 5, a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or Radeon RX 6950 XT is recommended to play the game at 1440p using the 'High' quality preset. However, this is with upscaling enabled using the Quality preset, with the game supporting Unreal's inbuilt TSR, AMD's FSR 4, NVIDIA's DLSS 4, and Intel's XeSS 2.

Yes, this is the latest release where upscaling technologies are recommended, regardless of resolution or graphics settings. The minimum requirements, which cover 1080p, require at least a GeForce RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card with the 'Medium' quality preset and TSR, FSR, DLSS, or XeSS set to 'Balanced.'

It looks like Mafia: The Old Country is going to be quite demanding on PC, with 2K recommending that for 4K 'Epic' quality, you'll want at least a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 to enjoy it at this crisp resolution. But even here, 2K recommends rendering the game at 75% or 2888x1620 and then applying TSR, FSR, DLSS, or XeSS on top of this using the 'Quality' preset for a smooth gameplay experience.

As for PC specific features, Mafia: The Old Country supports uncapped frame rates during gameplay (cinematics are capped at 30 FPS), DLSS, FSR, and XeSS Frame Generation technologies, and ultrawide resolutions.

Here's a closer look at Mafia: The Old Country's PC requirements.
