Recommended settings

For 60 FPS at 1080p

Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.

At 1440p

Around 18 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.

At 4K

Around 10 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.

VRAM headroom

At 2GB you are under the 4GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
