💡 South of Midnight: The stop-motion look is an art style, not a frame-rate problem - it runs smoothly.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 68 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 44 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
