Nixxes' Decima port is excellent and scales cleanly. Digital Foundry's optimized config keeps Textures High, 16x AF, High Shadows and High Depth of Field while trimming the most expensive cloud/SSR tiers. On an RTX 4070 at 1440p with DLSS Quality this holds ~80-90FPS; the GPU even pushes ~100 at 1080p Very High.

Notes
Digital Foundry optimized: Texture Quality High, Anisotropic Filtering 16x, Shadow Quality High, Depth of Field High - these are the cheap, high-impact ones. Drop Clouds and SSR a tier for the biggest savings. Decima loves DLSS (40-80% uplift); use Quality at 1440p. RTX 4070 lands ~80-90FPS at 1440p DLSS Quality, ~100 at 1080p Very High, and can do 4K 60-70 with DLSS Quality + Frame Generation. Well-optimized overall - no major caveats.Hardware
