Disable ray tracing entirely and lock settings to Low to maintain stable 30fps at 1080p; if you experience stuttering, reduce shadow quality to Low and cap volumetric effects to achieve consistent frame times.
This tier hits 60fps at 1080p Medium—a solid entry point. Keep ray tracing off and enable FSR 3.1 if the game supports it to gain headroom for higher texture quality without sacrificing smoothness.
1080p High at 60fps is achievable here, but note the CPU specs are older (i7-8700K, Ryzen 5 5500). Avoid heavy background apps and ensure your GPU drivers are current; this tier is tight enough that driver optimization matters.
Enable DLSS 4 Quality or FSR 3.1 at 1440p to maintain 60fps comfortably; Medium ray tracing is viable with upscaling, but disable it entirely if you want to push toward 100+ fps. Frame Gen is not recommended for this action-oriented game due to input latency concerns.
4K 60fps with High ray tracing is the goal here—use DLSS 4 Quality or FSR 4 to achieve it. Multi Frame Gen can boost perceived smoothness for cinematic moments, but disable it for any combat sequences where responsiveness matters; the 9800X3D ensures zero CPU bottleneck at any setting.

Reaching 120+ fps requires an RTX 5080 or RX 9070 XT paired with a 9800X3D CPU; disable ray tracing entirely, set shadows to Medium, and use DLSS 4 Performance mode at 1440p to hit consistent 120fps. Frame Gen is not viable here due to Pragmata's action-oriented gameplay—the input latency will feel worse than native 120fps.
The RTX 4070 / RX 7700 XT tier offers the best balance: 1440p 60fps High settings with optional Medium ray tracing via upscaling, and you'll have headroom to experiment without breaking the bank. If budget is tight, the RTX 3060 / RX 6600 tier at 1080p 60fps Medium is rock-solid for 2-3 years of comfortable play.
GTX 1060 users should jump to an RTX 5060 ($300) or RX 9060 XT ($349)—3-4x performance gain and DLSS 4 access unlock 1440p gaming. RTX 3060 owners can hold steady or upgrade to RTX 5070 ($549) for 1440p 60fps High with ray tracing; RTX 4060 users should target the RTX 5070 for a meaningful 50% uplift and Multi Frame Gen access.
Pragmata is a moderately demanding action game that scales well across hardware tiers—it's GPU-focused with no unusual CPU bottlenecks. The recommended tier (1080p 60fps High) is the true sweet spot for most players, while the High tier (1440p 60fps with upscaling) represents the best visual experience without diminishing returns. Ray tracing is present but not essential; disabling it gains 15-20% fps with minimal visual loss, making it a smart first optimization step if you're chasing higher frame rates.
