Lowering Graphics Settings

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is graphically demanding. If your PC only meets minimum specs, carefully adjust your graphics settings. Access the in-game graphics menu and begin with the lowest settings. Gradually increase individual settings, closely monitoring performance to find the optimal balance between visual quality and frame rate stability. Consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). While this may introduce minor visual artifacts for some, it has proven effective in reducing lag and stuttering for several players.

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Outdated GPU drivers are a common cause of performance issues.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 open GeForce Experience and check for updates under the "Drivers" tab. AMD users can use AMD Adrenalin Edition to check for and install the newest drivers.

Utilizing Mods

Community-created mods can significantly improve performance. Two popular options are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods typically require creating a mod folder within the game's directory and placing the mod files there. Using a mod manager like Vortex from Nexus Mods can simplify this process. Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks often necessitates the use of FFVIIHook.

Adjusting Nvidia Settings

For Nvidia users, experimenting with Nvidia Control Panel settings can yield positive results. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync within the Nvidia Control Panel's Graphics settings, but remember to disable V-Sync within the game's settings itself. Adjusting the Low Latency Mode to "On" or "Ultra" may also help.

By implementing these solutions, you should be able to mitigate or eliminate stuttering in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
