Lowering Graphics Settings

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is graphically demanding. Ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications. If you only meet minimum requirements, carefully adjust your in-game graphics settings. Begin with the lowest settings and gradually increase them, monitoring performance closely. Experiment with enabling VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) under Display Sync Technology; some players have reported this reduces lag and stuttering, although minor screen tearing might occur.

Updating Your GPU Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers are a common cause of performance issues. Update your GPU drivers to the latest version for optimal performance. Nvidia users should utilize GeForce Experience, while AMD users should use AMD Adrenalin Edition. Both programs will indicate if an update is available.

Utilizing Mods

Community-created mods can significantly improve performance. Consider using mods like Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods typically require placing files in the game's directory (or using a mod manager like Vortex from Nexus Mods). Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks often requires FFVIIHook.

Adjusting Nvidia Settings

For Nvidia users, enabling V-Sync and G-Sync within the Nvidia Control Panel (while disabling V-Sync within the game itself) can sometimes resolve stuttering. Additionally, experiment with the Low Latency Mode setting, trying both "On" and "Ultra."

By implementing these solutions, you should be able to significantly reduce or eliminate stuttering in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

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