Lowering Graphics Settings

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a graphically demanding game. If your PC only meets the minimum requirements, you'll need to adjust your graphics settings. Access the in-game graphics menu and begin with the lowest settings. Gradually increase individual settings, monitoring performance to find the optimal balance between visual quality and smooth gameplay. Experimenting with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) under Display Sync Technology may also alleviate stuttering for some users, although minor screen tearing might occur.

Updating Your GPU Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers are a common cause of performance problems. Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your GPU. Nvidia users should use GeForce Experience, while AMD users should utilize AMD Adrenalin Edition. Both applications will indicate if an update is available.

Utilizing Mods

Several community-created mods can improve Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's performance. Popular choices include Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks (which requires FFVIIHook). These mods typically require placing files in a dedicated mod folder within the game's directory. Using a mod manager like Vortex from Nexus Mods simplifies this process.

Adjusting Nvidia Settings

For Nvidia users, consider these additional settings: enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel's graphics settings, but disable V-Sync within the game itself. Experiment with the Low Latency Mode setting, trying both 'On' and 'Ultra' to see which provides better results.

By implementing these solutions, you should significantly reduce or eliminate stuttering in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, allowing for a much more enjoyable gaming experience.

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