💡 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 263 FPS, at 1440p about 263 FPS, and at 4K roughly 163 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Valheim. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
