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
Comfortable — around 113 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 65 FPS on high — genuinely viable.
Upscaling
Path of Exile 2 supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports DLSS — Quality mode is the best first change you can make. Compare upscalers.
