Fri, 06 Feb 2026 12:29:18 +0700

TL;DR / [Geek Summary]:

Hardware Torture: Challenging the 2015-era GTX 960 (2GB VRAM) to run Arknights: Endfield in 2026.

Overclocking Grind: Push the limits with +100MHz Core / +520MHz Memory and FSR Performance mode to keep this veteran alive.

Bench Report: Average 64.4 FPS with FSR Scaling; adding Frame Gen hurts latency due to VRAM bottlenecks, but it’s technically playable.
