The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Death Stranding Director’s Cut is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 117 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 118 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 118 | 117 |
| 1440p | 71 | 70 |
| 4K | 40 | 62 |
At 1080p expect around 117 FPS, at 1440p about 70 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Death Stranding Director’s Cut doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
