For competitive play where frame rate matters most, Low at 290 FPS is the clear choice, but Medium offers a better visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1440p, the Medium preset yields an average of 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 FPS and maximum of 173 FPS. This is ideal for 144 Hz monitors, as the minimum frame rate stays above the refresh threshold. High settings at 125 FPS are still very playable, but the drop from Medium to High is 17%, while the visual difference may be minimal in a fast-paced sports title. Ultra at 80 FPS is acceptable for 60 Hz displays but falls short of the 100+ FPS that many players prefer.

At 4K, the Medium preset produces an average of 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS. This is the only preset that consistently stays above 60 FPS at 4K, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays. High settings at 79 FPS are playable but risk drops below 60 FPS during intense moments. Ultra at 51 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the threshold for smooth gameplay. Low at 132 FPS is an option for players who prioritize frame rate over visuals, but Medium provides a better balance.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset offers the most consistent frame pacing, as evidenced by the min/max data showing the smallest variance. The data shows that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo, delivering high frame rates without the performance penalty of Ultra settings. For users with 144 Hz displays at 1080p or 1440p, Medium is the clear recommendation. For 4K displays, Medium is the only preset that guarantees a smooth experience, making it the default choice for this resolution.
