💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 47 FPS, at 1440p about 28 FPS, and at 4K roughly 16 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
