7 DAYS TO DIE HOW TO FIX YOUR FPS (+/- 60 FPS)
7 Days To Die How To Fix Your Fps (+/- 60 Fps)
Guys, today I will be giving you an insight on how to get a better FPS (+/- 60 FPS) for the “7 Days to Die” game. Before starting let me tell you that you may not have a well-optimized experience as the game is still in its Alpha Stages. Although I expect that you might be playing it at 30 FPS and gradually falling lower to 8, 10, and 20 or may be lesser FPS. I myself have some across a number of guides on this topic, but none was able to cover the whole aspect. Well here is my personal guide for improvising a better FSP with a guarantee that it will never drop lower than 30 FPS.
So without wasting anytime let us dig in it. There are two basic steps to be followed;
The first is customizing your Graphic Card, and The second is customizing your game.
Customizing Your Graphic Card:
- First, go to Your Graphic Card Control Panel (NVIDIA for Me).
- Select “Manage 3D Settings” and select “Program Settings”, press “Add” and choose “7 Days to Die”.
- On the “Select the Preferred Graphics Processor for This Program”, choose “High-performance NVIDIA Processor”.
- Change the “Maximum Pre-rendered Frames” to “4”.
- Change the “Power Management Mode” to “Prefer Maximum Performance”.
- Change the “Threaded Optimization” to “On”.
- Change the “Vertical Sync” to “On”.
Customizing Your Game:
- In the game menu, select “Options”, and then select “Video”.
- Turn off Your “V-Sync”, “Reflection Quality”, and “Motion Blur”.
- Uncheck Your “Reflected Shadows”, “SSAO”, “DOF”, and “Sun Shafts”.
- You can keep “Texture Quality” to “Full Size” and “Water Quality” to “High” if You want to.
- Change Your “UMA Texture Quality” and “Tree Quality” to “Middle”.
- Change Your “View Distance” to “10”, “Field of View” to “70”, and “LOD Distance” to “50%”.
- Keep “Gamma” at “75%”, but change the “Water Particles” to “25%”
Lastly, browse “7 Days to Die”, and join your game. Enter “F8” key to look on your FPS. It will be around 60 FPS. In some cases it can get down to 40 FPS or may increase up to 80 FPS. However on some rare occasions, it may drop to less 10 FPS, but again, scarce chance. I’m testing my method with “Acer Predator Nitro 5 AN515-51 Core i5-7300 HQ”.
