On my RTX 3060Ti, I got around 65 to 85 frames per second outdoors and 90 to 105 frames per second indoors, consistently. The balance between frames and quality was maintained, and all of these tests were done at 1080p resolution.
If you notice, the FPS jump from our recommended Quality to Performance settings isn’t phenomenal. This means you can tweak the settings to hit the sweet spot in between without compromising quality relative to frames.
