🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 10 FPS, at 1440p about 6 FPS, and at 4K roughly 3 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
