Here are the optimized settings to play Hades 2 at 1440p desktop resolution with any modern gaming graphics card.
1440p is the modern sweet spot for gamers. According to the Steam charts, 1080p is slowly losing its crown, as 1440p offers an optimal balance between visuals and performance. It is not super taxing as 4K, and not easy to run as 1080p. It sits between the two and offers the best of both worlds. Hades 2 is an incredibly well-optimized game. It looks and plays amazing at 1440p. You can expect to play this game on GPUs such as the GTX 1060 with 6GB VRAM and more. Below are the recommended settings to refer to.

Hades 2: Best Settings To Play at 1440p
You can use the settings below on laptops with GPUs such as the GTX 1650 and GTX 1660, without any issues. Several high-end laptops from the past offer 1440p displays and possess GPU power, such as the ones we mentioned.
Even on modern laptops, particularly business-class ones equipped with an AMD SOC and a 780M IGPU, Hades 2 will run flawlessly. Supergiant has done a fantastic job in optimizing the game, and therefore, the game has very lenient system requirements.
The best part is that you can achieve 1440p resolution and maintain the highest image quality, as this game doesn’t support upscaling solutions like DLSS, FSR, or XeSS. The best way to play this game is with frame capping set to your monitor’s maximum refresh rate, either by enabling V-Sync on regular monitors or using RTSS on adaptive sync displays, such as G-Sync or FreeSync ones.
Capping the frame rate also has another significant advantage. Regardless of whether you are playing on a desktop or a laptop, power consumption will be reduced, resulting in lower fan noise and heat output. There is no potential benefit in playing Hades 2 at a frame rate that your monitor cannot keep up with. The input latency is already very low, making the game feel incredibly responsive.
You can expect VRAM usage to remain around 3-4GB with these settings. If you feel you are running out of VRAM buffer, try lowering the settings to medium and see how things fare.
