Quick Answer

The RTX 6070 runs Mortal Kombat 1 at well above 60 FPS on Ultra settings at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K the card holds above 60 FPS on High settings with DLSS enabled, making it overkill for the genre at anything below 4K.

RTX 6070 Performance in Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 is a visually polished fighter with demanding character models and real-time lighting, but its engine is well-optimised. The RTX 6070 handles it with room to spare at every common resolution.

At 1080p on Ultra, the RTX 6070 produces frame rates well above 120 FPS, making it an excellent match for 144 Hz monitors. Fighting games benefit enormously from high frame rates because input timing and animation clarity are tied directly to how smoothly the game renders. At this resolution you are GPU-uncapped and limited only by your CPU and monitor refresh rate.

At 1440p on Ultra, performance settles comfortably above 90 FPS on a 144 Hz panel. Dropping to High settings pushes that above 100 FPS for players who prioritise fluidity over maximum fidelity.

At 4K on High settings with DLSS Quality mode enabled, the RTX 6070 maintains above 60 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K without DLSS will push the card harder and produce variable results depending on stage complexity and lighting load.

Settings Guide Summary

Resolution Preset DLSS Expected FPS
1080p Ultra Off 120+
1440p Ultra Off 90+
4K High Quality 60+

Ray tracing in MK1 adds depth to stage reflections. The RTX 6070 handles ray tracing at 1080p and 1440p without a significant FPS penalty. Enable DLSS at 4K if ray tracing is on.
