Sea of Thieves settings guide in South Africa in South Africa Q1

This title's 240fps-at-1440p-on-an-RTX-4060 premise is mismatched, and a useful guide has to be honest: an RTX 4060 cannot push 240fps in Sea of Thieves at 1440p. The 4060 is a 1080p-focused card that lands around 70 to 90fps at 1440p High here.

Quick Answer

The RTX 4060 cannot hit 240fps at 1440p in Sea of Thieves; expect roughly 70 to 90fps on the High preset. With DLSS Quality enabled you reach about 95 to 115fps. For a 240fps experience you would drop to 1080p Low or move to a much faster card; at 1440p, a 60 to 90fps target is the realistic goal.

Recommended RTX 4060 Settings At 1440p

Use the High preset with these tweaks: Shadows Medium, Water Detail High (it defines the game's look), Render Quality 100 percent, and DLSS set to Quality for the frame boost. The 4060's 8GB VRAM is adequate at 1440p Sea of Thieves but leaves little spare, so avoid maxing every texture-heavy option. DLSS Quality is the key lever that turns a 75fps native run into a smoother 100fps.

SA Build Pairing

The RTX 4060 is an entry 1080p-to-1440p card stocked at Evetech and pairs well with a Ryzen 5 7600 or Core i5-13400F. Use 16GB to 32GB DDR5 and a 550W 80+ Gold PSU; the card sips around 115W. This is a sub-R18,000-build GPU, best matched to a 1080p 144Hz or entry 1440p panel rather than a high-refresh 1440p screen it cannot saturate.

FAQ

Can the RTX 4060 reach 240fps in Sea of Thieves at 1440p?

No. It averages 70 to 90fps at 1440p High, or 95 to 115fps with DLSS Quality. A 240fps target is far beyond this card at 1440p.

Is the RTX 4060 better suited to 1080p or 1440p?

It is primarily a 1080p card, where it runs Sea of Thieves at well over 120fps. At 1440p it manages a comfortable 70 to 90fps, which is fine for a 60Hz or 75Hz panel.

Does DLSS help the RTX 4060 in Sea of Thieves?

Yes. DLSS Quality adds roughly 25 to 35 percent more frames at 1440p, lifting a native 75fps run toward 100fps while keeping a clean image.
