For AION 2 at 1080p, start with the official Steam graphics preset for your hardware tier: Very Low at minimum requirements or Low at recommended requirements. If performance is still poor, lower demanding visual options in stages and compare them in the same area or activity. These are starting points—not a guaranteed frame rate or a proven fix for stuttering.

Start with the official 1080p preset

Steam lists AION 2 as a PC-only Unreal Engine 5 game and gives these compatibility presets for Full HD (1920×1080):

Steam hardware tier Listed configuration Full HD preset
Minimum Windows 10/11 64-bit; AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-10500; 8 GB RAM; NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB; DirectX 12; 100 GB available storage Very Low
Recommended AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-11700; 16 GB RAM; NVIDIA RTX 2070 with 8 GB; DirectX 12; 100 GB available storage Low

Steam recommends an SSD. These are compatibility recommendations, not a promise of a particular FPS. Check the current global Steam listing if the game is updated, since requirements and preset guidance can change.

Know which regional listing you are using

NC’s Korean PC download page lists closely related hardware requirements, including 8 GB minimum and 16 GB recommended RAM, GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB or Radeon RX 470 4 GB at minimum, and RTX 2070 8 GB or Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB at recommended. Its FHD simplified-graphics presets are Very Low at minimum and Normal at recommended. That recommended preset differs from Steam’s global listing, which says Low; use the guidance for the service and region you play rather than combining the two. See the NC Korean requirements page.

Settings to try on a PC near minimum requirements

Playnews offers a more detailed starting profile for PCs close to minimum requirements. It is one publisher’s recommendation, not an official NC preset or a controlled performance test.

Option Suggested starting value
Display mode Personal preference
V-sync Off, unless you experience lag
Refresh rate 60 Hz for most systems; 90 Hz if the PC permits
Resolution scaling Performance or Balanced
UI scale Medium
Texture quality Normal
Effects Low
Mass battle quality Low
Model quality Low
Draw distance Low
Vegetation Very Low
Shadows Very Low
Shading Low
Global illumination Low
Reflections Low
Clouds Very Low
Post-processing Low
Anti-aliasing Low

The guide suggests leaving the upscaler disabled at first, then trying it if you still need more performance. Its secondary suggestions are to show other players’ particle effects for Everyone, keep volumetric fog On, use NCAO for ambient occlusion, choose Performance for water reflections, show the tier icon, and turn identical player appearance Off. It does not provide independent measurements for the performance impact of those secondary options. See Playnews’ AION 2 graphics settings guide.

Adjust settings in a way that shows what helps

  1. Apply the official preset for your tier. Use Very Low or Low according to the global Steam compatibility guidance at 1080p.
  2. If performance remains poor, lower demanding detail options. Try shadows, vegetation, clouds, effects, and mass-battle quality first, following the near-minimum profile above.
  3. Try resolution scaling next. Use Performance or Balanced as starting modes; if you enable the upscaler, compare the result rather than assuming it will help.
  4. Keep textures at Normal initially. Change this only if you need to continue tuning.
  5. Compare like with like. Change one setting or group at a time, then revisit the same scene or activity. Consider frame pacing and readability as well as visual detail.

The cited pages do not quantify FPS gains for individual settings, so this sequence is a practical way to test options—not a ranked list of measured improvements.

What an SSD can—and cannot—do

Both Steam’s global listing and NC’s Korean listing require 100 GB of available storage and recommend an SSD. The listings do not say that an SSD increases frame rate or resolves stuttering. Treat it as an installation and storage recommendation, not a graphics-performance guarantee.
