On a AMD RX 7800 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Marathon runs at roughly 82 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 83FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 82 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 131 FPS at 1080p and 82 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Marathon, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 131 |
| 1440p | 83 | 82 |
| 4K | 47 | 63 |
