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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 61 FPS, at 1440p about 38 FPS, and at 4K roughly 21 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
