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 20 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 12 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 6GB you are under the 8GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
