Many users report significant performance issues with the graphics, particularly at 4K resolution, even on high-end hardware like the RTX 4080 and i9-14900K. To achieve playable frame rates, players often need to disable global illumination and lower various graphic settings.
“It was basically unplayable for me with an RTX 4080 and i9-14900K processor in 4K resolution until I disabled global illumination, lowered the resolution percentage to under 60%, and turned down all graphic settings to medium.”
