Marvel Rivals Performance

Marvel Rivals uses Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen lighting, which is GPU intensive. DLSS 4 with Quality preset gives a substantial boost on RTX 50 series cards.

For competitive 240Hz play, lower the visual settings rather than buying more GPU. The game scales beautifully to lower settings.

Marvel Rivals: how much PC do you need?

Marvel Rivals quickly became one of the most played hero shooters of 2025 and 2026, with concurrent peaks rivalling Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends. The Unreal Engine 5 implementation looks superb, with Lumen lighting and Nanite character models, but it does demand reasonable graphics power to enjoy at full settings.

For competitive players targeting 240Hz, the right approach is to lower a few visual quality sliders rather than buy a more expensive card. Even an RTX 5060 Ti can hit 240 FPS at 1080p competitive settings with DLSS Performance.

DLSS 4 changes the maths for Marvel Rivals

NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation transforms the experience on RTX 50 series cards. A 5070 Ti running 1440p with DLSS Quality + 2x frame generation easily clears 200 FPS on Ultra settings, which is fluid for both casual and competitive play.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Marvel Rivals use frame generation effectively?

Yes. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation works well in Rivals because the underlying base frame rate is high and the input latency penalty is small. We recommend it for 1440p and 4K play but not for sub-1080p competitive settings.

Will the game run on a 5070 at 4K?

With DLSS Quality enabled, yes, comfortably above 60 FPS at high settings. For 4K Ultra at 100+ FPS, the 5080 is the realistic minimum.

Does Rivals work better on AMD or NVIDIA?

NVIDIA cards have a noticeable edge thanks to DLSS 4. AMD cards run the game well in raw rasterisation but lack the equivalent quality of DLSS frame generation.
