Best tips and tricks for max FPS in Arc Raiders
Here are some basic steps for you to complete before diving into the battlegrounds.
- Update your graphics driver to the latest version possible. You can do so for both AMD and Nvidia, and the latter has already launched a dedicated version for ARC Raiders. This will help to prevent any kind of optimization issues while trying to run the game.
- While the game is fairly well-optimized, it's better to turn off v-sync for the time being. You can enable it after we have had a few post-launch patches. You'll be missing out on very little by disabling v-sync.
- Unless your hardware is pretty much flagship in current standards, it's better to cap the fps to 90/60 for the time being. This will prevent instances of lag and stutter, especially when you come up against multiple enemies on the map at the same time.
Let's look at what I consider to be the best graphics to use in ARC Raiders.
