SBMM Lobby Editorial Performance & Competitive Tuning
Independent laboratory benchmark guidance for competitive frame pacing and low input latency.
One of the most demanding graphical titles ever produced. Full Ray Tracing requires hardware ray-tracing acceleration and DLSS 3 or FSR Frame Generation to sustain locked 60+ FPS at 1440p.
| Resolution | Target FPS | Suggested GPU | Preset | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1440p | 60 FPS | RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT | High | Provides locked 60 FPS across intense boss battles. |
Competitive Latency & Frame Pacing Optimization
- Enable DLSS Super Resolution with Frame Generation on supported RTX 40-series cards for smooth 100+ FPS.
- Keep Global Illumination on High rather than Very High for a significant ~25% framerate saving with negligible visual difference.
Operating System & Proton Compatibility Matrix
Offers Quality (1440p 30 FPS target), Performance (1080p dynamic 60 FPS), and Balance (40 FPS 120Hz) modes.
