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 9070 XT back.

With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 5600): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 128.
