When playing Subnautica 2 at 4K resolution, aim for High graphics settings to achieve a smooth 60 frames per second – don’t try for Epic settings. Lowering details like lighting, shadows, how far you can see, and visual effects from Epic to High will significantly boost performance without making the game look bad. If you have an Nvidia RTX card, use DLSS Quality mode. For AMD and Intel graphics cards, use TSR. And until your computer can consistently run the game at higher frame rates, limit it to 60 FPS.
