Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the high preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.
At 1440p
Around 49 FPS on high. Playable, but drop to medium or enable upscaling for a stable 60.
At 4K
Around 29 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
Upscaling
Path of Exile 2 supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports DLSS — Quality mode is the best first change you can make. Compare upscalers.

These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title is unusually CPU-heavy, so it matters more than usual here.
