2. ⚙️ Secure Frames with Dynamic Resolution and Upscaling Settings
- ✅ Enable Dynamic Resolution: Prevents frame drops during effect explosions
- ✅ Select Upscaling Mode: NVIDIA should test DLSS first, AMD should test FSR first, adjust to NIS or Linear if necessary
- ⚠️ Be careful of UI blurring when using upscaling
- ✅ Adjust detailed options such as texture quality, texture filtering, specular reflections, and shadow quality

3. 🛠️ Additional Settings: Optimizing NVIDIA Reflex, FPS Limit, and Sound Settings
- ✅ NVIDIA Reflex: On or On+Boost (Off may be better depending on the system)
- ✅ Foreground FPS: Set slightly lower than the monitor's refresh rate
- ✅ Background FPS Limit: Set to 30 to prevent resource waste
- ✅ Triple Buffering: Test turning it on or off to select the setting that suits your system
- ✅ Lower the number of sound channels, disable reverb, and set background muting
