What to know about this profile

These notes explain the main assumptions behind this game's RightRig profile. Cited benchmarks, when present, are listed under More detail. Not summarized again here.

Tuned using ComputerBase's 1080p native Cascade-Pfad run (no DLSS, FSR, or XeSS in the compared runs as published) with extreme preset, 4x MSAA, and options maxed, RT off, on the Ryzen 9 5950X-class rig in the article. That route is heavier than Ultra alone; RightRig uses it deliberately as the Ultra anchor. Other presets and resolutions scale from it. Per ComputerBase, NVIDIA 8 GB cards stayed VRAM-safe at 1080p and 1440p there; AMD 8 GB cards showed texture streaming issues even at 1080p, which this simplified profile may understate. Consider 8 GB or more if you see hitching.
