Playing Area 51 on the GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q, which is a 0 year old graphics card will likely get a very strong 200+ FPS. That base FPS is at 1080p and High visual settings.
When looking at the recommended requirements for Area 51 we can see that this GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q is far better served running it on Ultra even at 4K, where it would achieve 200+FPS. But it could cost around $0 per FPS at 4K. Compare this to Ultra 1440p, which is a more reasonable $0 per FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q along with the right system memory, 0.512GB, is very capable of getting top FPS results even at 4K Ultra graphics settings. We would recommend 4K as the way to go here.
To summarise, with this graphics card you do not need concern yourself too much regarding Area 51 frame rates. Because Ultra graphics setting can be turned on across all resolutions up to 4K quite comfortably.We are seeing 4K getting 200+ FPS, 1440p will get 200+ frame rate and if you are interested then 1080p gaming can get 200+ FPS. Based around the GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q launch price, we calculate the cost per frame at different resolutions. 1080p Ultra frames will cost $0, 1440p frames cost $0 each and then the 4K costs $0 per frame.
