Settings Recommendations

The measured data for this combo reveals a clear hierarchy among the four presets. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 130 FPS, which is a solid baseline for high-refresh monitors. However, stepping down to High yields a substantial increase to 157 FPS, a gain of 27 FPS. The Medium preset pushes further to 169 FPS, while Low reaches 259 FPS. This pattern is consistent across all resolutions, with the Low preset providing nearly double the frame rate of Ultra.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset is the recommended choice. At 1440p, High produces an average of 140 FPS, which is well within the range of high-refresh displays and retains significant graphical fidelity over Medium or Low. The jump from Ultra to High at 1440p is a 24 FPS improvement (from 116 to 140), making it a meaningful upgrade for competitive play without sacrificing the game’s visuals. While Ultra is playable, it is the most demanding setting, and the frame rate drops below the 120 FPS threshold at both 1440p (116 FPS) and 4K (99 FPS).

At 4K, the High preset maintains an average of 119 FPS, which is remarkably close to the 120 FPS target for many high-end displays. This makes High the most efficient setting for 4K gaming, as it provides a near-flagship experience. The Medium preset at 4K only offers a marginal gain over High, with a 9 FPS difference (128 vs. 119 FPS), making the visual trade-off less worthwhile. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset is an option, but the 205 FPS at 4K comes at the cost of significant visual detail. Therefore, High is the optimal preset for this combination, offering the best compromise between image quality and performance across all three resolutions.
