Lowering Graphics Settings
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is graphically demanding. If your PC only meets the minimum requirements, you'll need to adjust your graphics settings. Access the in-game graphics menu and begin with the lowest settings. Gradually increase individual settings, monitoring performance to find the optimal balance between visuals and smoothness. Experimenting with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) under Display Sync Technology may also alleviate stuttering for some users, though minor screen tearing might occur.
Updating Your GPU Drivers
Outdated GPU drivers are a common cause of performance issues. Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card. Nvidia users should use GeForce Experience, while AMD users should utilize AMD Adrenalin Edition to check for and install updates. The latest drivers often include performance optimizations for recently released games.
Utilizing Mods
Several community-created mods can improve Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's performance. Consider using mods such as Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods typically require placing their files into a dedicated mod folder within the game's directory. Using a mod manager like Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods simplifies this process. Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks may require FFVIIHook.
Adjusting Nvidia Settings
Nvidia users can try additional optimizations within the Nvidia Control Panel. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Graphics settings, but ensure V-Sync is disabled within the game itself. Experiment with the Low Latency Mode setting, trying both "On" and "Ultra" to see which yields better results.
By implementing these solutions, you should be able to significantly reduce or eliminate stuttering in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
