On my RTX 3060Ti, I got around 65 to 85 frames per second ou𒆙tside and 90 to 105 FPS inside buildings, consistently. The balance between frames and quality was maintainedꦬ and all these were tested at 1080p resolution.

If you notice, the jump of FPS from our recommended Quality to Performance settings isn’t phenomenal. This means you can tweak the settings to hit a sweet spot in between, without compromising on quality over frames.
