Best settings
Best graphics settings for Mafia II: Definitive Edition by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Mafia II: Definitive Edition doesn't offer it, use the level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |

| GeForce RTX 5070 | Highover 285 fps | High185–254 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | Highover 249 fps | High162–223 fps |

At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory, hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.
