💡 Mafia II: Definitive Edition: Older remaster - runs easily; watch APEX PhysX on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there).
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 39 FPS, at 1440p about 23 FPS, and at 4K roughly 13 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
