Best tips and tricks to get more fps in FC 26
Compared to recent releases like Borderlands 4, FC 26 is much less resource-intensive. But you'll still want to get the basics correct to ensure smooth gameplay and, more importantly, prevent lag. Lag can be fairly problematic, as your opponent will gain an upper hand.
- Update your graphics drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are updated to the latest editions. Whether you're using an Nvidia-based model or an AMD model, just use the official app to check for any available updates. This will make sure you have smoother performances and more fps.
- Cap the fps : Unless you have an extremely powerful hardware setup, it might be beneficial to cap the fps to 90 for smoother gameplay. You can increase the limit based on your hardware.
Let's now look at the best graphics settings to keep for high fps and prevent lag during gameplay.
