Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the ultra preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.
At 1440p
Comfortable — around 97 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 57 FPS. Workable with upscaling on Performance mode.
Upscaling
Baldur's Gate 3 supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports FSR — Quality mode is worth 25–40% more frames. Compare upscalers.
