Before you buy new parts, squeeze more performance from what you already own. These steps are safe and reversible.
In-game settings that matter most
- Resolution and upscaling: drop one step or enable a quality upscaler.
- Shadows: reduce to medium for a big frame boost.
- Ambient occlusion: lower or disable if performance is tight.
System and driver tips
- Update GPU drivers, then cleanly restart.
- Set the game to high performance in Windows graphics settings.
- Close background launchers and overlays you do not use.
Storage and memory
An SSD reduces stutter. If you are on 8 GB of RAM, consider closing browsers while you play.
