⚡ FPS Optimization Tips for God of War 2018

🎮 In-Game Optimizations

  • Disable V-Sync for lower input lag (use G-Sync/FreeSync instead)
  • Turn off Motion Blur — no FPS benefit, hurts visibility
  • Lower Shadow Quality from Ultra to Medium for 10-20% FPS boost
  • Use FXAA instead of MSAA for anti-aliasing (much lighter on GPU)
  • Reduce Draw Distance and LOD if frame drops occur
  • Enable DLSS or FSR if supported for major FPS improvement

🖥️ System Optimizations

  • Update GPU drivers (NVIDIA GeForce Experience / AMD Adrenalin)
  • Set Windows Power Plan to "High Performance"
  • Close Chrome, Discord, and other background apps while gaming
  • Enable Game Mode in Windows Settings
  • Install games on SSD for faster loading (NVMe preferred)
  • Enable XMP/EXPO in BIOS for optimal RAM speed
