Ubisoft's Anvil open world with selective ray tracing. An RTX 3070-to-4070 targets a locked 60FPS at 1080p-1440p with optimized settings. The key trick: set Ray Tracing to 'Diffuse Hideout Only' (RT restricted to hub areas) for a massive gain, and use Very High shadows (close to Ultra, ~10% faster).

Notes
Optimized config: Ray Tracing -> 'Diffuse Hideout Only' (RT only in non-combat hubs - huge gain vs world RT, which costs 20-30FPS); Shadow Quality -> Very High (looks ~Ultra, runs ~10% faster); Texture Streaming -> Medium on 8GB cards / Ultra needs 12GB+. Every official target assumes upscaling - use DLSS/FSR/XeSS Quality (native needs RTX 5090-class). On RTX 4070 @ 1440p this lands a locked 60; only enable Frame Generation if your base is already 50-60+. Beyond 1440p, use dynamic resolution.
