What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 56 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p and 20 FPS at 4K. These are modelled estimates — see our methodology.
What settings should I use?
Start at the medium preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
