How to Increase FPS and Fix Performance Issues in The Finals
Optimizing your graphics settings in The Finals, updating your drivers, adjusting control panel settings, and tweaking Windows settings can all help improve your game's performance. By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience.
Best Graphics Settings For Performance
The first thing you'll want to do is optimize your graphics settings. This can greatly impact your game's performance.
You can experiment with these settings until you find a balance between visuals and performance. Keep in mind that lower settings also can make it easier to spot enemies and react quickly. Let's tweak the graphics settings!
Disabling V-Sync is a simple yet effective way to boost your FPS and reduce input lag in THE FINALS. While the vertical sync can improve visual quality, it can also cause a noticeable delay between your mouse movements and on-screen actions, making your gameplay feel sluggish and unresponsive.
You should turn on NVIDIA Reflex Low latency. NVIDIA users can see this option in the graphics settings.
Unleash the full potential of your gaming rig by adjusting the Resolution Scaling Method such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR2, or Intel XeSS. These cutting-edge features use AI and machine learning algorithms to boost your FPS, reduce input lag, and enhance image quality. For the best boost, you should set the quality to Performance or Ultra Performance. If the graphics quality bothers you, you can set it to Balanced or Quality.
If it is possible, use Nvidia's new Frame Generation (DLSS 3) technology instead of DLSS, which is available exclusively on RTX 40-series GPUs. If you have a GPU that supports it, enable NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation under Display & Resolution in the graphics settings.
Motion Blur is a visual effect that adds a blur or smearing effect to moving objects on the screen. Get rid of the distracting and unsightly motion blur effect in THE FINALS by disabling it in the game's settings.
NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination uses advanced ray-tracing techniques to simulate realistic lighting and shadows, creating a more immersive and lifelike environment. However, to maximize performance and minimize potential stuttering or lag, it's recommended to set NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination to "Static" under the Ray Tracing section in the graphics settings.
You should also lower View Distance, Anti-Aliasing, Shadows, and Global Illumination Resolution to increase performance in The Finals.
If you notice performance issues with DirectX 12, you should change Graphics API to DirectX 11.
