007 First Light on PC: Patch-Fixed DLSS Highlights a Solid Port with Upscaling Gaps

TL;DR
Digital Foundry’s PC review finds 007 First Light a solid port after patch 1.0.5 fixes the DLSS issue; performance improves with higher-end CPUs but mid-range rigs can be CPU-bound, with DLSS gains now reasonable. Start from PS5/Series X presets, adjust texture quality to match VRAM, and reduce LOD if CPU-limited; volumetrics are demanding but tunable, and 60–120fps is feasible in many scenes. The PC build still lacks XeSS/FSR4 and DRS, and would benefit from frame generation, but overall it’s a well-performing PC port worth recommending.
