Resolution guidance
1920 × 1080High refresh
CPU becomes the limit first at this resolution.
2560 × 1440Balanced
Best value point for this title with Quality upscaling.
3840 × 2160Fidelity
Requires upscaling and usually frame generation.
Common bottlenecks
- ●Shadow and volumetric cost
- ●Ray tracing load
- ●VRAM pressure at high textures
Optimization recommendations
- ▸Cap frame rate just under your refresh rate for stable frame time.
- ▸Use upscaling before reducing output resolution.
- ▸Measure 1% lows, not just average FPS, after every change.
