💡 Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 3 is very CPU-heavy; expect a CPU bottleneck in the city.

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

At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 36 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
