When real FPS differs
- CPU. In Spelunky a weak CPU limits FPS regardless of the graphics card — especially at 1080p.
- Graphics settings. The table is for High settings. Dropping to Medium raises FPS by 20–40%.
- Upscaling. DLSS/FSR/XeSS raise FPS by 30–70% with minimal quality loss.
- Game version. Patches and engine updates change performance.
