To accommodate a wide range of PC specifications and playstyles, we’ve prepared two recommended setting options.
One prioritizes smooth performance with reduced system load, while the other delivers the highest graphical fidelity for a more immersive experience.
1. Better Performance (Frame Rates)
Prioritizes uninterrupted gameplay and faster simulations, reducing system load for higher FPS.
(1) Resolution
- Lowering resolution significantly reduces GPU load.
- Choose one of the following to reduce the strain caused by high resolution.
- Lowering Resolution Scale reduces GPU load similarly to reducing the resolution itself.
- Setting DLSS/FSR/XeSS to Ultra Performance or Performance can greatly boost frame rates.
- Dynamic Resolution lets the system automatically lower resolution to maintain stable FPS.
(2) Graphics
- Setting the preset to Very Low or Low can greatly increase frame rates but reduces texture and visual effect quality.
- Reducing Shader Quality, Background Detail Quality, and Shadow Quality especially helps improve performance.
(3) Ray Tracing (RT)
- Disabling ray tracing cuts down on GPU load from lighting calculations, raising FPS.
- Switching Ray Tracing Target to Fallback Mesh can yield a big performance gain, though high-end systems may crash.
(4) Storage and Memory
- Installing the game on an SSD lowers the strain from texture streaming and map loading, enhancing overall performance.
- Increasing system memory or virtual memory can also alleviate FPS drops caused by insufficient resources.
2. Better Graphics
Focuses on sharper and more detailed visuals but at higher system cost.
(1) Resolution
- Higher resolution offers more detailed graphics.
- Choose from these approaches to enhance resolution.
- Increasing Resolution Scale brings the display closer to your monitor's native res.
- Setting DLSS/FSR/XeSS to Quality or Off preserves detail near the original resolution.
- Dynamic Resolution helps maintain visuals near that native resolution.
(2) Graphics
- Selecting High or Ultra in the presets improves texture, lighting, and shader quality.
- For even more realistic visuals, set Shader Quality, Background Detail Quality, and Shadow Quality to their highest.
(3) Ray Tracing (RT)
- Enabling ray tracing greatly enhances reflections and shadows.
- Keeping Ray Tracing Target as Actual Mesh yields more realistic visuals.
(4) Storage and Memory
- Installing on an SSD accelerates texture streaming and map loading, allowing smoother play even on high settings.
- Sufficient system memory (or virtual memory) keeps high-resolution textures and details stable.
We hope these settings help you find the best fit for your PC and playstyle.
Our team continues to refine auto-adjust features and optimize performance for a more enjoyable experience.
