Mafia: The Old Country is a visually stunning game that is built on the Unreal Engine 5. Along with the Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM, you can expect to encounter serious performance issues, such as micro-stutters, frame pacing, and excessive VRAM usage. As usual, like every other UE5 title, it recommends frame generation techniques for higher FPS. That said, we’ve tweaked the settings below so you can enjoy the game. You can also lock the framerate to 60 for smooth frame time and frame-pacing.

Note: The game appears to be very CPU-intensive, likely due to the Denuvo Anti-Tamper protection. Even with GPUs like the RTX 4060 and its equivalents, you need a CPU with power equivalent to the Ryzen 5 5600X and beyond.
