Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS of 165 with a minimum of 141 provides substantial headroom above typical display refresh rates. The 1440p Medium preset averages 119 FPS with a minimum of 102, which remains comfortably above 60 FPS for smooth gameplay. Even at 4K, the Medium preset maintains an average of 76 FPS with a minimum of 64, keeping the experience playable at high resolutions.

The High preset is a viable alternative for users prioritizing visual fidelity over raw frame rate. At 1080p High, the average of 137 FPS remains high. At 1440p High, the average of 99 FPS is still smooth. At 4K High, the average of 63 FPS is borderline but workable. The Ultra preset is only recommended at 1080p, where the 88 FPS average is acceptable, as the 1440p and 4K Ultra results of 64 and 40 FPS respectively do not provide adequate performance for most users.

The Low preset delivers the highest frame rates, reaching 230 FPS at 1080p and 166 FPS at 1440p, but the visual quality trade-off is substantial for a sports game where detail matters. The Medium preset provides the most consistent experience, with the narrowest min-max FPS spread at each resolution, indicating stable frame delivery.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how this combo's performance degrades as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 230 at 1080p to 166 at 1440p to 105 at 4K. This represents a 54 percent reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the progression is 165 to 119 to 76 FPS, a 54 percent reduction as well. At High settings, the progression is 137 to 99 to 63 FPS, a 54 percent reduction. At Ultra settings, the progression is 88 to 64 to 40 FPS, also a 54 percent reduction.

The consistent 54 percent reduction across all settings from 1080p to 4K indicates that the scaling is resolution-bound, not setting-bound. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly stressed as resolution increases, with the 4K Ultra result of 40 FPS showing the clearest sign of the GPU hitting its limits. The CPU's strong performance, evidenced by its 74th percentile ranking, means it does not become the bottleneck even at 1080p Low where the frame rate reaches 230 FPS. The data suggests that users targeting 4K should stick to Medium or High settings, while 1080p and 1440p users have more flexibility across the entire settings range.
