This will be a shot guide on better performance without the cost of graphics/picture quality.
Graphic Settings
In this guide i’m going to help you gain them extra frames without the cost of quality. This will apply to anyone that is having troubles with FPS while in open world or in combat no matter what GPU you may have whether it be a 4GB or a 6GB card . I myself only have 4GB Vram (Asus Strix GTX 970) as its enough for what i play at maximum but this just just don’t cut it for this game so i’m here to help with that.
Below is all the settings i’m currently running in order to reach 45-60 FPS (depending on surroundings.) I will have both screenshots and text for those who want to see how much Vram it uses as well as what the settings are in the categories listed.
My personal setup is running a single 1080p Screen at 75Hz so bare in mind yours may be different.
