Mafia: The Old Country is the latest installment in the Mafia series. It now features the infamous Unreal Engine 5, and with that comes impressive visual fidelity. Currently, the game experiences frame pacing and frame time issues, making it best played with a locked framerate. So if you are facing prominent micro-stuttering, these settings will come in handy.

Note: The CPU-bound nature of this game, due to the presence of Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM, slowly starts to mitigate, because games are usually GPU-bound at 4K. But if you are upscaling, then the internal resolution decreases. And for that reason, provided the GPU power required here, you are best off with a CPU power that is at least equal to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or better.

For the best experience, you can use Lossless Scaling and enable adaptive frame generation. With these settings, you can expect the VRAM usage to be around 11-14GB with the inclusion of adaptive frame generation.

Although the game offers native frame generation support, it’s highly recommended to use lossless scaling due to frame-pacing issues. The minimum GPU power you should be using to play this game at 4K is equivalent to RTX 4080 Super / RX 7900 XTX, and beyond.
