Players with GTX 1060s regularly hit 200+ FPS because they&#8217;ve configured everything correctly, while some with RTX 3080s struggle at 100 FPS due to poor settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the big three: Shadows Off, Effects Low, and Fullscreen Mode. Those alone will transform your experience. Then work through the rest based on your specific bottleneck. And remember, the difference between 60 and 144 FPS isn&#8217;t just numbers. It&#8217;s the difference between seeing that Thresh hook coming and eating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now stop reading and go get those frames.
