Video memory

At 1440p Ultra the game uses about 9 GB but the card has only 4 GB: expect stutter and texture pop-in. Lower texture quality.

Is the processor holding it back?

With a Ryzen 5 7600 the result is almost the same: the graphics card is the main limit here.

The estimate is calibrated on independent benchmarks (TechSpot); typical error about ±5–10%. FRAME LAB model estimate, not a recorded benchmark: real FPS depends on the driver, game version and scene.
