Best settings

  • 60 fps at 1080p: high preset
  • 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
  • 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.

What limits performance

  • Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Intel Arc 140V back.
  • Processor needed for ~63 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
  • With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~63 fps.
