How to get better FPS
- Update your graphics driver before you play. New drivers often fix stutter in recent games. See how to update GPU drivers.
- Turn on upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) if the game supports it. It gives a big FPS boost on mid-range cards.
- Lower the shadows and volumetric effects first. They cost a lot of FPS but change the look the least.
- Close background apps, especially with 8 GB of RAM, and keep your PC cool. Check temperatures with our CPU temperature guide.
- If your CPU or GPU holds you back, use the bottleneck calculator to see which part to upgrade first.
