The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and The First Descendant is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 76 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 77 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 77 | 76 |
| 1440p | 46 | 61 |
| 4K | 26 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 76 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. The First Descendant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
