Optimization and performance issues are not something unusual nowadays, but more often than not, the issues can be fixed by meddling with the in-game settings as well as the other GPU & CPU graphic options. In today’s guide, we discuss all the best settings to improve the performance of the Farthest Frontier.
I’ve benchmarked Farthest Frontier on the following PC specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
To run Farthest Frontier on your PC, you’ll at least need an Intel i5 4690 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600x CPU, Nvidia GTX 980 or AMD RX 590 GPU and 16 GB RAM.
The following graphics settings are quite taxing on the game’s performance:
- Shadows
- Anti-Aliasing
- Soft Shadows
- Soft Particles
- Foliage
Farthest Frontier is a CPU-bound game and I’ve had no trouble while testing the game in both performance and stability aspects. However, there were slight issues with stuttering when there was too much construction going on the screen at once. However, it’s a minor gripe and future updates should resolve this issue.
Best Farthest Frontier Graphics Settings
Now there are tons of graphics options in Farthest Frontier, and some affect the performance more than others. The list of graphics options Farthest Frontier offers is given below:
Overview of the Best Graphics Settings
| Setting Name | What To Set It To |
|---|---|
| Fullscreen | Enable |
| Windowed Fullscreen | Disable |
| Vsync | Disable |
| Resolution | Native |
| Supersampling | 100% |
| Refresh Rate | Maximum |
| Run In Background | Enabled |
| Background FPS | Your Preference |
| Shadows | Medium |
| Antialiasing | 2x MSAA |
| Soft Shadows | Enabled |
| Soft Particles | Enabled |
| Foliage | Disabled |
| Depth Of Field | Enabled |
| DOF Intensity | Your Preference |
Besides these settings, toning down the resolution from 1080p to 720p can also drastically increase performance. Now, there is no guarantee that just changing the graphics settings will increase performance. Sometimes the game is highly unoptimized, and at other times, it is the default settings of your PC are set to that hold back the hardware.
