💡 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 92 FPS, at 1440p about 66 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
