💡 Valheim: Runs on modest hardware, but big built-up bases tax the CPU and point lights — lower those before world detail.

At 1080p expect around 203 FPS, at 1440p about 174 FPS, and at 4K roughly 99 FPS with optimized settings. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
