💡 Subnautica 2: Early-access Unreal Engine 5 - Lumen Global Illumination is the heaviest setting; upscaling helps a lot.

At 1080p expect around 153 FPS, at 1440p about 92 FPS, and at 4K roughly 70 FPS with optimized settings. Subnautica 2 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
