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 639 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 371 FPS on high — genuinely viable.
VRAM headroom
At 4GB you are under the 8GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
