The game runs incredibly well on the Nvidia RTX 3070. Playing at 1080p, you can get an average of 60fps with Ray Tracing turned on and graphic presets set to Medium. Since the shaders don't look too great, as they're set to Low quality, we recommend setting them to Medium provided you're okay with slightly lower framerates.

However, for smooth 60fps gameplay, we recommend the settings mentioned below. Turn on VSync only if you don't own a monitor that supports AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync.
