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 42 FPS on high. Playable, but drop to medium or enable upscaling for a stable 60.
At 4K
Around 24 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 8GB you are under the 12GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
