💡 Shadows of Doubt: The citizen simulation is CPU-bound - graphics settings mostly tame the fog and neon, not the sim itself.

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

At 1080p expect around 18 FPS, at 1440p about 11 FPS, and at 4K roughly 6 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
