A heavy UE5 open world that leans on upscaling and frame generation. Native 1080p Epic is only ~54FPS on an RTX 4070, so at 1440p you need the High preset + DLSS Quality + Frame Generation to hold 60+. Foliage is the single most expensive setting - Medium looks close to Epic for a big gain.

Notes
Tom's Hardware / PCGamesN: RTX 4070 manages only ~54FPS at 1080p Epic native, so the High preset is the recommended baseline (60FPS at 1080p). At 1440p, use DLSS Quality + the game's DLSS/FSR 3 Frame Generation to reach 60+. Foliage Quality is the heaviest setting - Medium looks decent with minor density loss. Also enable Resizable BAR, HAGS, and the Windows High Performance power profile. Expect this to feel like a 'frame-gen crutch' title - base frame rate matters, so don't enable FG below ~45 real FPS.Hardware
