Low - FPS range ~135-145 FPS, GPU utilization ~65%, CPU utilization ~50%.Medium - FPS range ~125-135 FPS, GPU utilization ~75%, CPU utilization ~50%.

High - FPS range ~120-130 FPS, GPU utilization ~75%, CPU utilization ~55%.

Ultra - FPS range ~90-100 FPS, GPU utilization ~70%, CPU utilization ~60%.

The below is what was recorded at each setting level using this methodology: No combat, no memory-bandwidth intensive effects. This also presented a good chance for the game to be performant as all I was doing was looking around the FOB and the long views, with some Marines milling about. This way the views were repeatable and rough comparisons between settings could be established. With each setting I loaded a save I have with a spawn point on a FOB with decent long range views near the Excavation Site. For Low, the game tried to leave Decal Quality at Medium, this was manually set to Low. For Ultra, the Animation Quality setting was set to Max, all other presets were set to Auto.

Minimum framerate is left off to ensure no dynamic resolution scaling is utilized, and the game is set to 100% render resolution.

If this value is left at Unlocked FPS are lost at this low resolution as CPU utilization drastically increases, increasing CPU-boundedness. I set the value for Max framerate to 360 for each test, and for the Low preset I added in 200 and Unlocked for giggles once I’d established a pattern. My methodology was to lower desktop resolution to 1280x720 (the game struggles with a resolution this low, and instead renders at 1280x807) and test each preset for the settings with a restart between each preset change. I9 9900K - 5GHz all core clock - not the best anymore, but still goodĪll drivers are the latest available, Windows 11 with the latest updates is the OS I decided to test if CPU or GPU seems to be the biggest culprit in creating low FPS at moderate resolutions, and I think the results are interesting (spoiler - probably CPU, but it’s tough on GPU too). The visuals are decent, but the performance on PC for the visuals produced is off balance. So, like many PC players, I’ve noticed that Infinite seems inordinately heavy in the campaign.
