Best Forspoken Settings For High FPS & Performance

Let’s figure out the best Forspoken settings that will optimize its gameplay to give you the best performance possible on your PC. Forspoken is definitely one of the most hyped games from back when it was revealed in 2021. The sheer scale of the world that’s packed with tons of creatures and high-quality particle effects is sure to put a strain on even the most monstrous of PC builds. This is why, like always, we’ll be bringing an in-depth optimization guide that includes Forspoken’s best settings and helps you improve FPS significantly. 

What’s Forspoken Optimization like?

Let’s get this out of the way, Forspoken is poorly optimized on PC. When its hardware requirements were first released for PC, it required beefy specs and the latest hardware to get anywhere near 60 FPS. However, after the game’s release, it seems the game is quite more demanding than the player base anticipated. 

People running either that latest 13th or 12th gen intel i7s paired with RTX 3070, which is a killer combination to this day, struggled to run Forspoken at constant 30 FPS at 1440p resolution. According to recent reports from several hardware testers, RTX 4090 + i9 13900k, which is as top-end as you can get right now, struggled to maintain a constant 60 FPS on 4k resolution.

Now if the highest-end PCs are having trouble coping with fancy particle effects and the vast world, then something is definitely off with Forspoken. Maybe it needed more time in the developer’s oven? Maybe it’s a game meant to be truly enjoyed on next-gen hardware? Your guess is as good as mine.

But the fact still remains that this is a bad port, and we won’t make you wait for developers to optimize it over a span of official updates. So we’ll be focusing on four Forspoken best settings areas that can help uplift its performance and help you reach playable FPS on your PC:

1. Forspoken Best Graphics Settings
2. Best Nvidia Settings for Forspoken
3. Forspoken Best Settings for AMD 
4. Best Window’s Optimizations and Tweaks for Forspoken

Verify Forspoken System Requirements First

Forspoken is a pretty game with breathtaking landscapes and visuals that succeed in you taking a pause and just admiring the world’s beauty. However, this comes at a cost and the cost in your PC resources. Before we start optimizing the best Forspoken settings and expecting great results, we first have to make sure that your PC can handle it well. Check out the system requirements for Forspoken below and measure how your PC stacks up.

Now that you’ve finally gone through the official system requirements for Forspoken, you’ll know whether your PC can handle it or not. If your PC doesn’t even meet the minimum system requirements, I’m afraid it’s no use trying to run the game as you’ll barely get any performance; so it’s best to upgrade if possible. For other players with PC that are capable enough to run Forspoken, let’s get down to optimizing it for better performance.

Best Forspoken Graphics Settings

Forspoken has many graphics settings that you can optimize to tune the visual quality according to your preference. We’ll go through each setting and help you optimize the game for the best performance without compromising on the graphical quality that much. Let’s get optimizing.

Forspoken Display Settings

Here are all the tweaks you should make in the Display Settings of Forspoken:

Resolution: Monitor’s Native Resolution 

In the Resolution setting, select the maximum resolution your monitor can support to have the best experience with Forspoken. Your monitor resolution may fall between 1080p to 4k, so select whichever is the maximum. You can play Forspoken at a lower resolution than your monitor to get better FPS. However, the game will become significantly blurry.

Brightness/Gamma: Your Preference

You can freely adjust both the Brightness and Gamma settings individually according to your preference. It starts with 1 and you can increase or decrease it according to how well-lit your monitor is for an optimal viewing experience. 

Maximum Frame Rate: Maximum (120 FPS Currently)

Forspoken allows you to set a Max Frame Rate of 120 at the time of writing. Maybe the devs knew even with a 4090, no one was going to break that 60 FPS mark. But jabs aside, it’s best your set this to 120 FPS so you’re FPS isn’t capped when they decide to optimize the game with future updates. 

VSync: Off

As always, you should disable VSync to avoid capping your FPS to your monitor’s refresh rate and input latency. If by any chance you’re experiencing screen-tearing, you can turn this on.

Screen Mode: Fullscreen

You should set the Screen Mode to Fullscreen as it directs your PC resources to exclusively focus on the game and help it run better.

Select Main Display: Your Primary Monitor

If you’re using a single monitor then this setting will auto-select your display monitor for Forspoken. In case you’re running a dual monitor setup, select the primary monitor here that you want to run the game on.

Color Filter/Filmic Strenght: Off

Color Filter and Its Filmic Strenght are purely for aesthetic visuals and play no role in the game’s performance or graphical fidelity. Best turn them off to enjoy the game in its original form. 

Forspoken Graphics Settings

Next up, make sure to make the following changes in the Graphics Settings in Forspoken:

Image Quality Present: Custom

Image Quality Present includes several different pre-determined settings that will automatically tune your graphics set to a particular visual clarity level. Since we’ll be fine-tuning and using the best Forspoken settings, best switch this to custom. 

Variable Rate Shading: OFF

Variable Rate Shading (VRS) is a setting that can boost your FPS in Forspoken. However, you’ll see this feature working rarely in the game. Some people are seeing better FPS while turning it on while some are seeing gains by turning VRS off. Our recommendation is to turn it off for now until a patch fixes it. 

Dynamic Resolution: OFF

Dynamic Resolution changes Forspoken’s in-game resolution on-the-fly by downscaling it to meet the target FPS limit. It can seriously downgrade your visuals for an FPS boost which isn’t worth it. You best keep it off. 

Model Memory: Standard

Model Memory graphic settings control the geometric models in the landscapes and creatures. If you put Model Memory too low, you’ll see quite a lot of geometric LOD pop-ins in the environment. Bump it up to standard to avoid any weird pop-ins without compromising performance too much.

Texture Memory: High

The Texture Memory setting decides the amount of VRAM that will be dedicated to Forspoken textures. If you have a GPU with 8 GB or more VRAM, put this at high. For GPUs with lower VRAM, go for medium. 

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2: Quality

Forspoken comes with the latest version of AMD FSR. It helps upscale your resolution and gives you more FPS while maintaining almost native resolution clarity. Set FSR 2.0 to Quality mode as you’ll get a pretty significant boost in performance without losing texture sharpness.

Nvidia DLSS: Balanced

Nvidia’s upscaling technology, DLSS is still hailed as one of the best technologies out there. That is if you have an Nvidia RTX GPU. By switching DLSS on and setting it to the balanced mode, you’ll give a pretty huge FPS boost while maintaining the game’s visual clarity. 

Sharpness: OFF

The sharpness setting lets you add a bit of extra sharpness over textures in Forspoken. This looks really artificial unless you really like those overly crispy textures in the game. My suggestion is to turn it off. However, you can tune it to your liking. 

Render Resolution: 100%

Render Resolution is the base resolution that your game will be rendering at. It’s separate from the main resolution setting as it changes the resolution of textures and in-game objects directly. Leave it at default 100% as FSR and DLSS will be automatically adjusting it according to the game’s requirement. 

Model Detail Level: High

Model Detail Level sets the visual clarity of all the character and environment object models in Forspoken. I’ve seen no performance difference between high and standard even though there was a slight visual difference. Set this to high.

Texture Filtering: High

Texture Filtering setting really improves the look and feel of in-game textures. Using lower settings actually degraded my performance which was weird. So, it’s a bugged graphics settings and you’re better off using high for now. 

Reflections: Standard

There aren’t many reflective surfaces in the outdoor world of Forspoken so using standard instead of high will give you a minor FPS boost of 4-5 FPS. However, once indoors, the reflective walls and squeaky clean floors do make use of elections more degrading performance even further. So you’re better off using standardly preset here. 

Motion Blur: OFF

The blurriness caused by the artificial sense of speed when you’re zooming around landscapes can actually make your game feel like it’s running on a lower FPS. Even if we avoid this fact, motion blur isn’t really a setting you’d wanna use whether it impacts FPS or not. Best leave this setting off.

Depth of Field: OFF

Switching off the Depth of the field in others games doesn’t really yield much performance improvement. However, disabling it in Forspoken gives you a good 3-5 FPS boost. To best turn it off.

Fog Quality: Low

Fog Quality setting might be one of the most taxing settings in the game, well, apart from Ray Tracing. It controls the foggy areas around the landscape. I recommend dropping the Fog Quality to low to experience a good boost in performance while only slightly degrading that Fog Quality. 

Cloud Quality: Standard

Cloud Quality has a similar effect both visually and on performance like the Fog Quality setting. Lowering it to standard will net you a decent performance boost of 4-5 FPS.

Shadow Quality: Low

Shadow Quality is always a taxing setting in most games as shadows constantly render right under your character and in-game objects. Lowering Shadow Quality will make them a bit pixilated, but you’ll get a pretty significant boost in performance, almost 15% or more. 

Ray Traced Shadows: OFF

Anything Ray Traced is bad news in Forspokne, it’s the same with shadows too. Ray Traced shadows sure look cool but the 15-20% FPS downgrade isn’t worth it at all. Best leave Ray Traced Shadows off. 

Ambient Occlusion: High

Turning Ambient Occlusion to high saw really minor performance decrease; a mere 1-2 FPS. The visuals look a bit better on high so might as well turn set it high. If you want to squeeze every bit of performance out of your PC, then sure, set AO to standard. 

Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion: ON

Now believe me when I say that using Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion does not tank your FPS. Yes, you may see a hitch in performance here and there but won’t see a major shift. Now, it might be because the Ray Traced AO setting might be bugged and isn’t taking effect, or it isn’t really that intensive. Still, for now, you can turn this on. If you see any performance degradation down the line, you can come back and turn this off. 

Anti-Aliasing: Temporal AA

Since we’ll be using either DLSS or FSR 2.0, Temporal AA is the best Anti-Ailiasing setting you should be using in Forspoken. Other options like FXAA or SMAA don’t look smooth at all, on top of the fact they are performance hogs. 

This concludes everything you need to know about the best Forspoken graphics settings on a PC. These settings have been tested to output a performance improvement of over 30-40% depending on your system. The optimizations don’t stop here, let’s head over to other areas of your PC that you can further optimize for Forspoken. 

Best Nvidia Settings for Forspoken

If you’re using an Nvidia GPU than make sure to make the following tweaks:

Now that we’ve optimized the in-game graphics settings, it’s time to tweak your Nvidia Control panel settings and apply the best Nvidia settings for Forspoken that’ll give you a boost in performance. But first things first, you’ll have to update your GPU drivers to the latest Game-Ready Drivers to benefit the most from this optimization step. Here’s how you can get the latest updates:

Update Nvidia GPU Drivers

Nvidia releases new drivers before every major game release which contain tons of performance improvements and fixes for the game. So it’s mandatory to get your GPU to the latest driver before you can start expective some performance boosts. To do that, you’ll need to open the Nvidia Geforce Experience application from either your desktop or Windows taskbar. 

1. Click on the taskbar and expand it by clicking on the “^” icon.
2. Right, Click on the Nvidia Logo and select “Nvidia GeForce Experience” from the context menu. 

1. As the Geforce Experience application opens, head over to the driver tab on the top. 
2. At first glance here, you’ll know if there’s an update available to download. If it’s there, simply click on the download button and then “Express Install” to quickly update your GPU drivers. If there isn’t any update available, then your drivers are always updated. 

After you’re done updating your Nvidia GPU drivers, let’s now start applying the best Nvidia Control Panel settings. 

Best Nvidia Control Panel Settings

Now that your GPU drivers are completely up to date, it’s time for us to configure the best Forspoken Nvidia settings inside the control panel. Let’s get to tweaking!

Image Sharpening: OFF

Image Sharpening is a sharpening filter that Nvidia offers to make the in-game textures extra crispy. Although it might be useful in some games, it mostly looks a bit artificial in Forspoken and really ruins the texture quality. You best leave it off. 

Background Max Frame Rate: 20

This is a really great setting from Nvidia if you’re also running other applications alongside Forspoken. Once you Alt+Tab out of Forspoken’s window, your system will instantly cut down the resources dedicated to the game allowing other applications to function normally. So if you’re a streamer, once you minimize the game, your OBS or other streaming application will run without hitches. 

Low Latency Mode: OFF

Low Latency Mode is a great feature baked into the Nvidia Control Panel that drastically reduces input lag and improves latency. However, it’s more effective in competitive games like CS: GO or DOTA 2, etc. You won’t need it in Forspoken as much, however, if you feel observable input lag, you can switch this to Ultra. 

Max Frame Rate: OFF

Avoid capping your Max Frame Rate at any number. You’ll need to avoid unlimited FPS in Forspoken to enjoy a smooth gameplay experience in Forspoken. 

Power Management Mode: Prefer Max Performance

You should use Prefer Max Performance under Power Management Mode to let your GPU run at the maximum clock while running Forspoken. This will drastically stabilize your performance in-game preventing any stutters or FPS that you may face. This setting has also drastically improved performance for several players. 

Anisotropic Sample Optimization -Texture Filtering: ON

Anisotropic Sample Optimation dramatically improves the quality of the game’s visuals games without causing any major performance impact. Switch it on to get the clearest and crisp visuals and optimal game performance.

Quality – Texture Filtering: High Performance

Change the Texture Filtering Quality option to high-performance. As you may have guessed that this will lead to more performance but some visual clarity. If you own a premium PC You can change this setting to Quality.

Trilinear Optimization – Texture Filtering: ON

You can turn on Texture Filtering Trilinear Optimization in order to create your textures clearer. It will not only make the textures more appealing but will also improve the performance of your game.

Vertical Sync: OFF

We don’t want to turn on V-Sync both in the in-game settings and the Nvidia Control Panel. You best turn it off to avoid any input lag or latency issues later. 

When you’re done applying all the best Forspoken settings for Nvidia Control Panel, simply click on Apply and close it. And that’s it; you’ve now successfully adjusted your Nvidia Control Panel settings to maximize Forspoken’s performance. Check out our Nvidia best settings guide for a comprehensive look at the optimized settings in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Best AMD Settings for Forspoken

As for the AMD GPU users, here are the optimal settings for Forspoken:

Now that we’re done optimizing Nvdia’s side of things, it’s time to get your AMD Radeon panel optimized too. These Best Forspoken settings for AMD Radeon will help boost your performance levels significantly without getting a major hit on visual quality. However, similar to the Nvidia portion of this guide, we’ll first need to update your AMD GPU drivers to the latest version. Let’s get to it then. 

Update AMD GPU Drivers

AMD releases essential updates for your GPU updates almost every month. The updated driver is packed with significant improvements to performance and improvements for the latest games such as Forspoken. New updates usually tune the GPU to perform better in games in terms of both FPS and stability. So let’s start tweaking your AMD Radeon panel with the best Forspoken settings.

1. Enter “AMD Adrenaline” in the Windows search bar, and then select the result that shows up. Alternatively, you can also right-click your desktop to launch your AMD Radeon Panel.
2. Once the Radeon panels open up, go to”the “Drivers & Softwares” section at the top of the screen and click “Check for Updates.”
3. In case you already have up-to-date AMD GPU drivers, it’ll notify you that you’re all set. However, if there’s an update available, you’ll be presented with an option to install the most recent drivers.
4. If there are the latest updates available to download, click on the install button and wait until AMD Radeon software finishes the download. After the download has been completed, install the drivers.
5. Once you’re done, simply reboot your PC to finalize the installation. 

And that’s it, now you’re GPU is running on the latest and greatest drivers for AMD that pack optimizations for Forspoken. Now let’s get tweaking the settings. 

AMD Best Radeon Settings

Now that your AMD drivers are finally up-to-date, let’s tweak them with the Best Forspoken AMD settings to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your system. Simply follow along as I go through each setting and help you tune them. 

Radeon Anti-Lag: Enabled

The Radeon Anti-Lag feature is an AMD feature that operates like the NVIDIA Reflex and Low-Latency mode. You can keep this one to improve the input latency in Forspoken.

AMD Radeon Chill: Disabled

AMD Radeon Chill significantly reduces the GPU’s power to favor cooler temperatures. The lower GPU output means lower FPS which won’t be a great experience at all considering the optimization of Forspoken. You best leave it disabled.

Radeon Boost: Disabled

The term boost might misinform you about what this setting does. It will heavily downscale your resolution to meet a specific FPS target goal. It’s similar to what dynamic resolution does in-game. Unless you want your textures to look mushy, disable it. 

Image Sharpening: Your Call

Image Sharpening is a sharpening filter in AMD Radeon settings that helps you make textures crispy and clear. It’s quite helpful especially if you’re playing the game on a lower resolution. So, if you feel your textures in Forspoken could use some extra clarity, you can turn it on and set the slider to your preferred sharpness. 

Radeon Enhanced Sync: Enable

AMD’s Radeon Enhanced Sync is a much better option that the regular V-sync. Since Vsync eliminates any screen tearing you may face due to excessive frames, it introduces input lag in return. Enhanced Sync can help lessen screen tearing in games without actually increasing the amount of input lag, so it’s a much better alternative.

Wait for Vertical Refresh: Always off

“Wait for Vertical Refresh” (VSYNC) reduces your FPS by the refresh rate of your monitor and causes input lag and latency issues when playing. I would not recommend activating it.

Make use of the following settings in the Advanced Settings section of your browser:

Frame Rate Target Control: Disabled

Frame Rate Target Control limits Forspoken’s FPS at a specific number you choose here. We recommended leaving this disabled as you should leave your FPS uncapped for the best experience.

Antialiasing: Use Application Settings

You don’t need to activate Antialiasing here as we’re already using AMD FSR 2.0 in Forspoken.

Antialiasing Method: Multisampling

Multisampling is an improved version of supersampling in AMD Radeon settings. It works great with DLSS making the edge of the texture visibly smoother and less aliased.

Morphological Antialiasing: Disabled

Morphological Antialiasing is known to cause stuttering and FPS drops in games heavy as Forspoken. For some players it does provide a better quality image, however, those players aren’t using an upscaler like FSR 2.0.

Anisotropic Filtering: Disabled

The majority of DX11 and DX12 games like Forspoken use of Anisotropic Filtering within their engine. So, it’s not necessary to enable this feature within Radeon Settings.

Texture Filtering Quality: Performance

Switching the Texture Filtering Quality to Performance is the best way to get the best FPS with an insignificant amount of visual loss. It gives you a great balance of performance and visuals making the most use of AMD’s GPU capabilities.

Surface Format Optimization: Disabled

Surface Format Optimization can enable to smooth off the game’s textures. However, players have reported that it causes performance degradation and even texture to appear damaged in Forspoken. I would 

Tessellation Mode: Override Application Settings

You’ll have to set Tesselation Mode to Application Controlled to change the Tessellation Level setting below: 

Maximum Tessellation Level: Off

Disabling driver-level tesselation will improve your gaming performance. It’ll disable any driver-level tesselation that could make the gaming performance much better.

OpenGL Triple Buffering: Disabled

OpenGL Triple Buffering should be disabled to prevent any problems in performance. Since it’s part of V-Sync, it’s not worth enabling here.

Reset Shader Cache: Perform Reset

Shader data keeps accumulating when you play games as it helps the process textures quicker every time you launch the game. But sometimes, the older shader caches can become damaged, causing issues. It is therefore recommended to refresh it once in a while to ensure that games run smooth and smoothly. So reset the shader cache at least once a month to keep your GPU running at top performance. 

And that’s about it. We’ve used the best Forspoken settings to optimize your AMD Radeon settings. You can expect a good amount of performance improvement from the game. If you’re interested in a complete guide to optimize your AMD Radeon settings, take a look at the AMD best settings guide.

Best Windows Optimizations for Forspoken

We’ve tweaked every bit of setting that’ll give us a performance boost in Forspoken. From using the best Forspoken graphics settings to GPU settings, everything was adjusted to overcome the game’s bad optimization. Now, it’s time to finally optimize your Windows to run the game well by performing some of the best optimizations that can net you a significant boost in performance. Without further ado, let’s start exploring those tweaks now.

Keep Your Windows 10/11 Updated

You should constantly check for updates and install them whenever they’re available. Windows updates bring a slew of stability and performance improvements that nets your better FPS in games. Other than gaming performance, you’ll get a much more responsive system after getting your Windows updated. Here’s how you can do it: 

1. By pressing the WIN + I key, you can access the Windows Update section of your settings.
2. The Windows update option is located in the top-right corner of the settings menu once Windows Settings have opened. Go there.
3. The Windows Update menu appears here. Install any updates that are available here. If there aren’t any updates visible, click the Check for Updates button to see if any are available.
4. Windows will prompt you to restart the computer if the updates were installed successfully.

Your Windows will be updated to the most recent version with all the performance and bug fixes after the reboot is finished. Your overall Windows experience will be the best that Microsoft has to offer.

Use Forced Fullscreen Launch Option

Fullscreen Mode is the go-to mode to use in games if you want the highest possible performance. It helps your PC to exclusively direct its resources towards Forspoken and boost not only performance but its stability too. However, Forspoken can sometimes switch from Fullscreen to borderless fullscreen, and the player doesn’t even know about it. Here’s how you can force Forspoken to always run in fullscreen: 

1. Open up Steam from the taskbar on the bottom right or search for it in Windows Search. 
2. After Steam opens up, locate Forspoken in the games library and right-click on it and go to properties. 
3. Once your open its properties, in the General tab, you’ll see the Launch Options at the bottom. Here, type -fullscreen.

After inputting the launch attribute, close Steam and launch Forspoken. Now the game will always launch in Fullscreen mode by default and stay in it. 

Turn On Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling

Windows 10 was a milestone release for gamers as it introduced several gaming-specific features. Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling is one of those features that help you improve performance and stability in games.

It’s a particularly helpful feature in Forspoken as it boosts performance and also prevents any crashes at launch. Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling lets GPU share the burden with the CPU in handling high-priority instructions like rendering frames. Here’s how you can turn this on:

1. Open up Windows Search and type in GPU and click on Graphics Settings. 

2. In the graphics settings, you’ll see the option to Change the Default Graphics Settings under the Default Settings section. 

3. Here, you can turn on the Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling setting.

And this is all you need to do to turn on the Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling feature. It’ll immensely help in stabilizing your frame time and game performance. 

Enable Game Mode

Game Mode was introduced back in Windows 10 as a feature to improve gaming performance by limiting background resource usage. It becomes active when you launch a game. Game Mode helps direct your PC resources toward the game more efficiently and restricts any background applications from hogging resources. Here’s how to turn it ON:

1. Enter Game Mode in the Windows Search and go to the first result that pops up. 
2. Once you click on the Game Mode settings result, you’ll be inside the Game Mode menu. 
3. Here, all you need to do is toggle the game mode On. And that’s it.

Once you’re done, the Game Mode will auto-activate whenever you’ll launch Forspoken. This will immensely help you boost performance and the game’s stability. 

Terminate Background & Autostarting Apps

There are many applications in Windows that take up precious system resources and remain running in the background while you’re playing Forspoken. These processes can be heavy on your system’s resources. There are also third-party apps in these processes too that startup with Windows and keep running even if you aren’t using them. Here’s how you can get rid of these unnecessary applications from automatically starting up again, here’s how:

1. Right-Click on the Taskbar and open up the Task Manager. You can also use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.

   

2. You’ll see tons of applications running in both the foreground and background of your system. Some common applications you may encounter are Steam, Discord, TeamSpeak, and Faceit, and in short, the ones with High Priority need to be eliminated. 
3. Start closing applications from here that you don’t need by right-clicking on them and choosing “End Task.”
4. Once you’re finished, go to Task Manager’s startup tab or the auto-start applications tab and disable any programs you don’t want Windows to launch automatically. The medium-priority applications can also be prioritized for disabling.

   

When you’re finished, it’s time to turn off some unused services that consume a lot of system resources. This is how to do it:

1. Open the run utility by hitting the shortcut WIN+R. Here, you need to type and enter MSCONFIG in the run window.
2. “Disable All Microsoft Services” should be checked off under the Services Tab. The necessary ones that you shouldn’t disable will be hidden by doing this. Disable the items you believe are unnecessary and irrelevant from the new list.

   

3. Once done, hit apply and ok.

Now you’re disabled any resource-intensive services and applications from your system that would bog Forspoken’s performance. You’ll also feel that your PC has become snappier after this optimization.
