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
Around 54 FPS on high. Playable, but drop to medium or enable upscaling for a stable 60.
At 4K
Around 31 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
