Best Graphic Settings & FPS Boost Tips
- Keep your GPU driver on the latest Game Ready / Adrenalin branch before comparing frame rates.
- If frame pacing stutters, lower Shadows, Volumetric Lighting and Ambient Occlusion one step each.
- Use Fullscreen mode instead of Borderless Windowed to cut input latency and gain a few FPS.
