From the RTX 5070 onwards, you can easily play the game with these settings at 1440p and comfortably get a high FPS experience. With GPU tiers like the ones mentioned here, you need ample CPU power, at least a Core i5 12600K or equivalent, as a bare minimum.
For RTX 5080 and later, you can use 4K and adjust the settings below. Tesselation and Base complexity hammer performance, which is why these are kept at a lower value. Depending on your tonal preference and CPU power, you can increase those two options.
