Quick Answer

The RTX 3060 12GB runs Marvel Rivals at 1080p High preset between 95 and 130fps, with the 1 percent low around 78fps in busy team fights. Enable DLSS Quality, drop shadows to Medium, and disable global illumination for a smoother competitive feel without losing visual clarity.

Real-World 1080p FPS Numbers

On a Ryzen 5 7600 test rig, Marvel Rivals at 1080p High averages 110fps on the RTX 3060 in casual mode and 95 to 105fps in 6v6 ranked matches. Lobby and training rooms hit 140fps+. With DLSS Quality on, average climbs to 125 to 135fps, which is ideal for 144Hz panels common in SA gaming setups. The card's 12GB VRAM keeps the texture pool comfortable, sitting around 7.2GB used.

Optimal Settings for Competitive Play

Use the High preset as a base, then drop Shadow Quality to Medium, Global Illumination to Off, and Reflection Quality to Medium. Leave Textures and Effects on High for visual clarity on enemy abilities. Enable DLSS Quality, turn off motion blur and chromatic aberration, and crank Anti-Aliasing to TAA. Reflex Low Latency goes to On+Boost for tighter aim. Cap fps at 138 if you run a 144Hz monitor.
