Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: medium preset

NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 4080 back.
Processor needed for ~127 fps: Ryzen 9 7950X3D or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-13400): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 127.
