SBMM Lobby Editorial Performance & Competitive Tuning
Independent laboratory benchmark guidance for competitive frame pacing and low input latency.
Nixxes delivers comprehensive PC optimization with ray-traced reflections and ray-traced ambient occlusion. High-speed NVMe SSD is strictly mandatory for real-time district asset streaming during high-speed gliding.
| Resolution | Target FPS | Suggested GPU | Preset | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 60 FPS | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 | Medium | Maintains locked 60 FPS across fast web-swinging sequences through Manhattan. |
| 1440p | 60 FPS | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 | High | High visual fidelity with ray tracing enabled at 1440p using DLSS or FSR Quality. |
| Steam Deck (800p) | 30 FPS | Custom AMD RDNA 2 (8 CUs) | Low | Steam Deck Playable via Proton Experimental. Lock to 30 FPS with FSR Balanced to maintain stable frame pacing. |
Competitive Latency & Frame Pacing Optimization
- High-speed NVMe SSD with DirectStorage is required; mechanical hard disk drives suffer severe asset pop-in during web slingshots.
- PlayStation Network (PSN) account linking is required to launch the game on PC.
