⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~33 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and 007 First Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 33 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	14	33
1440p	9	20
4K	5	11

💡 007 First Light: Glacier engine (the Hitman engine) is well-optimised - upscaling plus High settings hits high frame rates comfortably.

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

At 1080p expect around 33 FPS, at 1440p about 20 FPS, and at 4K roughly 11 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
