Start from your hardware tier
IO Interactive's recommended specs target 1080p at 60 FPS with an RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT-class GPU. If your GPU is around that tier, aim for High at 1080p; below it, start at Medium and scale up. Above it, you have headroom for higher resolutions or settings.
Check the full minimum and recommended breakdown on our system requirements page.
An SSD is required
The game lists an SSD as a requirement and needs roughly 80 GB of space. Installing on a hard drive can cause stutter and long loads, so keep 007 First Light on an SSD if you can.
Where to find frames
- Upscaling (DLSS / FSR, if available) is usually the biggest, lowest-cost frame-rate win — try Quality mode first.
- Shadows and reflections are typically the heaviest settings; dropping them a notch recovers frames with little visible loss.
- Resolution — if you're below target, lowering from 1440p to 1080p is a large, reliable gain.
Adjust one setting at a time so you can tell what actually helped.
