A stable locked 30FPS using FSR 2.2 Quality at native 800p. Acts 1-2 can push toward 40FPS, but Act 3's Lower City drops to 25-30, so 30 is the honest sustained target across the whole campaign.

Notes
BG3 added FSR 2.2 post-launch - enable it at Quality, it is the most important setting for holding frame rate. Set SteamOS display to 40Hz but cap in-game to 30FPS for consistency. Drop crowd and cloud density to Low for Act 3's Lower City.Hardware
