A reproducible graphics starting point

That configuration raised average frame rate from 74 to 103 FPS in the cited test, with 1% lows moving from 63 to 87. It is a tested starting point, not a promise for another GPU. Keep texture settings within available VRAM and use DLSS, FSR, XeSS or TSR as appropriate.

  • Use DLSS Super Resolution on GeForce RTX, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Intel Arc, and TSR as the broad fallback.
  • Frame generation is optional and should sit on top of a stable base frame rate; it does not improve base input responsiveness.
  • Path tracing requires DLSS Ray Reconstruction and is limited to supported NVIDIA RTX hardware.
