+ | ===Improve GPU performance=== | ||
+ | The game has Asynchronous Compute on by default, which is a setting that lets your GPU do CPU math to help out processing. However, this feature is only useful for older or weak CPUs (such as on consoles), and is generally recommended to be turned off by default if you have a newer CPU. If you're experiencing frame drops frequently, try turning this off (it can be found in the Graphic settings, at the very bottom). For further performance improvements, set particles_tessellation and particles_receive_shadows to false user_settings.config. | ||

Improve GPU performance
The game has Asynchronous Compute on by default, which is a setting that lets your GPU do CPU math to help out processing. However, this feature is only useful for older or weak CPUs (such as on consoles), and is generally recommended to be turned off by default if you have a newer CPU. If you're experiencing frame drops frequently, try turning this off (it can be found in the Graphic settings, at the very bottom). For further performance improvements, set particles_tessellation and particles_receive_shadows to false user_settings.config.
