1080p	44	67
1440p	26	52
4K	15	30

💡 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 67 FPS, at 1440p about 52 FPS, and at 4K roughly 30 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
