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.

Calibrated at 1080p against ComputerBase's open-world GPU sequence (~20 s river walk near Fahllicht after long session, SSR, high view distance, heavy vegetation; not worst-case but demanding). Ray tracing off for the measured route: calibration follows raster-heavy open-world load, not RT-heavy modes. Source rig: Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 48 GB DDR5-6000, Windows 11 23H2, rBAR on, drivers per March 2024 article. Preset substitution: ComputerBase Sehr-Hoch (Very High) is treated as this engine's Ultra preset for multiplier purposes. Native numbers in the article are aligned to the engine's default Quality upscaler path where DLSS or FSR is available. Predictions at other preset or resolution combinations inherit the engine's scaling curves.
