I get 90 – 130 fps with these on a GTX1070 & i5-12600k

Other basic improvement tips unrelated to Steelrising:

NVIDIA control panel:

• preferred refresh rate: highest available
• sharpening on if preferred: search for regedit fix if you want to add it back to programs and not just under global settings
• max frequency at 72 fps + vsync at half monitor refresh rate IF you have a 144Hz monitor and get between 80 and 144 frames.
• pre rendered frames at 1
• low latency: on

Windows & Software

• add the game in windows graphics settings: high performance
• use intelligent standby list cleaner if you have ram stutters. (please inform yourself before using it)
