NBA 2K26 is the latest title in the NBA 2K series. The game naturally comes with better movement motions, physics, animations, and upgraded visuals. However, such upgrades came with higher system requirements. Moreover, the default settings of NBA 2K26 can make it difficult to run on older Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.

For example, the High textures may not be suitable for the Radeon RX 7600, which only has 8GB of VRAM. However, optimizing the game settings can not only fix this but also deliver a solid 60+ FPS at all times. In this article, you will find all the best NBA 2K26 settings for Radeon RX 7000 series.

The Radeon RX 7600 and RX 7600 XT are designed for 1080p gaming, and they do a great job at that. The former has only 8GB VRAM, which is not enough in 2025. On the other hand, the latter has 16GB, so it doesn’t have that limitation. However, these two GPUs are a bit older now and struggle to maintain 60 FPS without the right settings.
