If you’re trying to squeeze every last frame out of FragPunk, you’ve come to the right place. This game is all about speed, and the last thing you want is your FPS dropping right when you're about to clutch a fight.
Below, we’ll go over the best settings to boost performance, from Windows tweaks to in-game graphics settings—so you can focus on fragging, not lagging.
Windows Optimization
Before diving into FragPunk’s settings, let’s make sure Windows isn’t working against you.
Disable Unnecessary Features
Game Bar: Turn it off (unless you have a Ryzen 7900X3D or 7950X3D, which actually benefits from it).
Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling: Turn it on (helps reduce latency).
Game Mode: Turn it on (prioritizes game performance).
Update Everything
GPU Drivers: Download the latest from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel.
Chipset Drivers: Keep them updated for better CPU performance.
BIOS Update: Check for updates—newer versions can improve stability.
Windows Updates: Yes, they’re annoying, but missing them can hurt performance.
Power Plan Settings
Use Balanced Mode instead of High Performance (longer boost clocks = better sustained FPS).
NVIDIA Control Panel Settings (Skip if you’re using AMD)
Low Latency Mode: On (reduces input lag).
Power Management Mode: Normal (better boost clocks).
Shader Cache Size: 10GB-100GB (reduces stuttering).
Change Resolution:
Set your native resolution and max refresh rate.
Make sure G-Sync is off if you want the lowest input lag.

These settings will help you get the best balance of performance and visibility.
Display Settings
Display Mode: Fullscreen (less input lag).
Resolution: Native (use upscaling methods instead of lowering it).
FOV: Start at 90-104 (higher FOV lowers FPS).
V-Sync: Off (reduces input delay).
Frame Rate Limit: Unlimited (best responsiveness).
Graphics Settings
Upscaling:
DLSS 4 (Quality) – Best for NVIDIA RTX users, 10-12% FPS boost.
FSR (Quality) – Good for AMD users, though not as sharp.
No AA – If you want raw performance and don’t mind rough edges.
Mesh Quality: Low (+4% FPS).
Shadow Quality: Low (+10% FPS).
Post Processing: Low (+3-4% FPS, also reduces blurriness).
Texture Quality:
Epic (if you have 8GB+ VRAM).
Medium (for 6GB VRAM).
Low (for 4GB or less).
Effects Quality: Low (stabilizes FPS during heavy fights).
Screen Space Reflections: Off (+5% FPS).
Depth of Field, Motion Blur: Off (clearer visuals, less lag).
Ray Tracing & SSGI: Off (huge FPS drain, minimal benefits).
Animation Physics: Off (smoother performance).
Final Thoughts
With these settings, you’ll get higher FPS, lower input lag, and smoother gameplay. If you’re still struggling, try lowering FOV or using DLSS/FSR at a more aggressive setting.
