💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.

At 1080p expect around 152 FPS, at 1440p about 138 FPS, and at 4K roughly 78 FPS with optimized settings. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Marathon. Marathon doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
