AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 7700 XT back.
Processor needed for ~141 fps: Ryzen 5 3600 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 141.
