PC Optimization Tips
- Install on SSD — The game streams textures heavily. HDD loading causes stuttering during scene transitions.
- Update GPU drivers — Day-1 driver updates from NVIDIA and AMD significantly improve performance in Unreal Engine 5 titles.
- Close background apps — Directive 8020 uses up to 12GB RAM at high settings. Close browsers and other heavy applications.
- DLSS / FSR — If your GPU supports DLSS (NVIDIA) or FSR (AMD), enable it for a major performance boost with minimal visual loss.
- Lower shadow quality first — If you need to reduce settings, shadows have the biggest performance impact and are least noticeable during cinematic gameplay.
