On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Where Winds Meet runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 31FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Where Winds Meet is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 31 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 42 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. Where Winds Meet offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Where Winds Meet at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. 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 | 31 | 63 |
| 1440p | 19 | 42 |
| 4K | 11 | 24 |
