💡 Age of Empires IV: Late-game battles with hundreds of units are CPU-bound - a fast CPU matters more than the GPU here.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Age of Empires IV has no DLSS, but the resolution-scale slider is the main GPU lever. Note late-game battles with hundreds of units are usually CPU-bound.
Shadow QualityLow+8% FPS
Shadow resolution across the map — Medium is a strong trim in a zoomed-out RTS view.
Physics & EffectsLow+7% FPS
Arrow volleys, siege debris and destruction — this spikes during big fights. Medium keeps late-game battles smooth.
Texture DetailUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap and safe on 6GB+ VRAM.

Unit and building model detail. High looks sharp at normal zoom.
Water QualityMediumbaseline
Reflections and water simulation. Medium is fine unless you play water-heavy maps.
