Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is now available worldwide, and you can tweak the in-game graphics settings to get the best possible performance relative to your system.
While the performance for me in the early moments has been smooth, it required some tweaking. There were noticeable bits in the gameplay when I encountered a few stutters (although my hardware satisfies the recommended settings).

Best tips and tricks for best graphics in Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2
Here are some basic things to keep in mind if you want Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to run smoothly on your PC.
- Update your graphics card driver. While Nvidia and AMD are yet to release a driver update specifically for Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, you can always check for pending updates using the dedicated client. This will help to avoid optimization issues and extract the best performance you can get on your system.
- Disabling V-Sync is the smart option until a few post-launch patches roll out. You'll be losing very little but gaining better performance.
- Unless you're getting 90 FPS or above consistently, it's better to cap the FPS to 60. This change helped me fix the stutters that I was having at my end. The gameplay also loses little if you're running it at 60 FPS at all times.
Next up are my current graphics settings in Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2.
