Low frame rate
Fixing Low Frame Rate (FPS) Second method[citation needed] |

Several settings use valuable CPU time to render parts of the game, the main culprit being shadows. Due to the very nature of the game, players will hence almost always be bottlenecked by their CPU, altough a handful of modern top-end CPU are powerful enough to maintain very high framerates.[4] If a player desires higher framerates, they can apply the following fix by disabling their shadows altogether. While your mileage may vary, disabling shadows could be the difference between the game being (nearly) unplayable or maintaining a high, stable framerate.

During the alpha stage, Planetside 2 featured special particle effects powered by PhysX.[5] These effects were removed prior to the official launch, but an option to disable PhysX was not available in the settings menu. The following fix forces PhysX off. This won't solve having a low-end machine, but will improve frame rate by 20% to 40% in most cases.[6]

Theres a way to tweak render limits to even lower sizes than 500. If you play as infantry 300 is still playable and is a lot faster.
