About

The Ascent is a solo and co-op action RPG set in a cyberpunk world. The mega corporation that owns you and everyone, The Ascent Group, has just collapsed. Confusion and chaos ensue, security and order are in disarray, and without protection, everyone is left to fend for themselves.

FPS and compatibility scores are estimates from catalog data and hardware benchmarks. Real results vary with drivers, settings, cooling, and background apps. Upcoming titles may use AI/heuristic specs until official requirements ship.

Optimization Tips

Ray tracing performance is highly demanding; DLSS or FSR is recommended for high-resolution settings.
Disable Ray Tracing if you are not using DLSS/FSR, as it causes significant frame drops in dense city areas.
Adjust the 'Shadow Quality' setting to Medium to gain a large performance boost with minimal visual impact.
Ensure the game is installed on an SSD to prevent stuttering during asset streaming in the open world.
Use DLSS Quality or FSR Quality mode to maintain high frame rates at 1440p and 4K resolutions.

Performance Estimates

Estimated average FPS. Above 60 is smooth; real results vary by settings and drivers.
