Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is setting out to be the modern-day Crysis, as its secret Unobtainium ultra high graphics setting can make even an RTX 4090 GPu struggle.
The Unobtanium graphics settings, which can be unlocked by entering "-unlockmaxsettings" in the Add Launch Arguments menu in the Ubisoft Connect client, push the settings beyond ultra, with better quality ray tracing, shadow and reflection resolution, and more. These settings are so demanding that even an RTX 4090 GPU barely manages to run the game at slightly above 60 frames per second at 4K with DLSS Performance Mode, which upscales the image from 1080p resolution, as showcased in a new video shared by Compusemble.

Thankfully, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora supports AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation, so performance can definitely be brought to an acceptable level even at these ultra high graphics settings, although one will have to deal with the inevitable increased input delay. The FSR 3 implementation in the game is the best to date, so it is definitely a great option to have.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Amazon Luna.
