Best tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Ninja Gaiden 4
There are some basic steps to ensure that your hardware doesn't get overburdened with the graphical requirements of Ninja Gaiden 4.
- It's a great idea to update your graphics driver to the latest available version. While Nvidia and AMD have yet to release a driver version exclusively meant for Ninja Gaiden 4, please ensure you have installed the latest version. This should reduce any optimization issues and performance bottlenecks.
- Disable the v-sync unless you have a supremely good hardware setup. You lose very little while making the general gameplay experience smoother.
- I have capped the FPS to 60 until we get a few post-launch patches. However, you can ignore this advice if you're getting above 90 FPS in all situations without any stutter.
Let's look at the graphics settings I have been using for my analysis of Ninja Gaiden 4.
