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

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 6800 back.
Processor needed for ~140 fps: Core i7-11700K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 140.

Video memory

Radeon RX 6800: 16 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
