You can easily achieve fluid gameplay and get an average FPS of 64 at 1440p Ultra preset with FSR 3 Quality mode when playing on the Radeon RX 6900 XT. Dropping down to 1080p provides an extra FPS boost if you want more framerates, like 78 FPS, without sacrificing the visual fidelity. However, it does cost you the resolution unless your display only supports 1080p.

With our optimized settings below, you won't have to lower to 1080p and can enjoy the best 1440p experience with stable FPS, always above 65 FPS, and great image quality.
