Skate is currently in Early Access, and it plays amazingly at 1440p. However, the game experiences stuttering issues, primarily due to its CPU-intensive nature. The recommended GPU to play this game at 1440p is an RTX 3060, and the recommended CPU to pair with it is a Ryzen 5 5600X. That said, the optimal settings for playing the game at 1440p are listed below.

Note: If you have a much more powerful GPU than the 3060, and you are stuttering in this game. We recommend that you cap the frame rate. Your monitor’s maximum refresh rate is a good starting point. If you have a VRR display, such as G-Sync or FreeSync, you can cap it within the VRR refresh rate range and enjoy the game. Doing this will result in improving the 1% and 0.1% FPS figures.

We have opted for the XeSS upscaler as it produces the highest image quality output. Users with AMD GPUs, we recommend switching to XeSS instead of FSR. This is because, despite the added computational overhead that XeSS offers, the image quality produced by FSR is soft and exhibits shimmering throughout. The image quality difference easily compensates for the performance tradeoffs made by XeSS.

If you run out of VRAM on 10GB GPUs, such as the ARC B570, RX 6700, or RTX 3080, consider reducing textures from Ultra to High or Medium. You can monitor VRAM, FPS, 1% and .1% lows usage with the help of RTSS (MSI Afterburner).
