The best Silent Hill 2 graphic settings for the Nvidia RTX 3070
The game runs incredibly well on the Nvidia RTX 3070. Playing at 1080p, you can get an average of 60fps with Ray Tracing turned on and graphic presets set to Medium. Since the shaders don't look too great, as they're set to Low quality, we recommend setting them to Medium provided you're okay with slightly lower framerates.
