Lowering Graphics Settings
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is graphically demanding. Ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications. If you only meet minimum requirements, carefully adjust your graphics settings. Access the in-game menu, select graphics options, and begin with the lowest settings. Gradually increase them, monitoring performance for any stuttering.
Consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). Some players report this reduces lag and stuttering, although minor screen tearing might occur.
Updating Your GPU Drivers
Outdated GPU drivers can significantly impact performance. Update to the latest version for optimal results. Nvidia users should open GeForce Experience and check for updates under the Drivers tab. AMD users should use AMD Adrenalin Edition to check for driver updates.
Utilizing Mods
Community-created mods can sometimes alleviate stuttering. Two popular options are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods often require placing files in a dedicated mod folder within the game's directory, or using a mod manager like Vortex from Nexus Mods. Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks may require FFVIIHook.
Adjusting Nvidia Settings (Nvidia Users Only)
Nvidia users can try enabling V-Sync and G-Sync within the Nvidia Control Panel's graphics settings, while ensuring V-Sync is disabled within the game itself. Experiment with the Low Latency Mode setting, trying both 'On' and 'Ultra'.
By implementing these strategies, you should significantly improve the performance of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on your PC.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
