Best Video Settings For FarCry 6 on PC (High FPS)
The settings below will help to give you a massive FPS boost.
Enable Game Mode On Your PC
Windows has a game mode feature which has been greatly improved this year. Enabling it will help to get the most from your PC. To enable it click on the Windows button –> Search –> Game Mode Settings –> Turn Game Mode On.
Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling
This is another Windows native feature that you will want to turn on. Click on the Windows button –> Search –> Graphics Settings –> Turn on Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling. Only applicable for people with an Nvidia Card.
This will help to reduce latency and improve performance.
Run Your PC In High Performance Mode
On your PC you will want to check that you have High performance mode enabled. Some people have their PC set to Power Saver mode which is good for saving electricity but not so good for running your PC games optimally.
