At 1440p Ultra the game uses about 6.7 GB but the card has only 4 GB: expect stutter and texture pop-in. Lower texture quality.

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

Approximate model estimate, not yet checked against measurements; typical error about ±15–20%. FRAME LAB model estimate, not a recorded benchmark: real FPS depends on the driver, game version and scene.
