## Settings that held 60

1080p Performance preset, discrete GPU selected. Latria's crowded halls and Boletaria's fire stay locked.

First-run shader hitches appear in new areas, then clear. Judge the frame rate on the second pass, not the first.

DualSense over USB verified. See [DualSense](/boot/dualsense-on-pc) for the setup that the lab uses.
