One of the most common problems gamers get with most new releases from Capcom are problems with performance. Low fps, graphical glitches, and fps drops are a known facts on release day with their games. Still, we can do what we can in the settings to try and fix this ourselves to the best of our abilities. I’ve written down the graphics and display settings that seem to churn out the best results in terms of visual and fps balance, so you don’t have to experiment yourself with the options too much.
If you’re curios to also see what other people are getting with similar builds, you can go to this Google Sheet and search for benchmarks with the same gpus or cpus you’re using.
Disclaimer: The game is very poorly optimized in general, so even after following these setting guide you might still experience problems with fps and/or graphics. All we can do now is wait for updates…
