💡 Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Well-optimised with DLSS; ray-traced shadows are the heaviest option - turn them off first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 63 FPS, at 1440p about 44 FPS, and at 4K roughly 25 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
