Anti-aliasing: Use TAA for best effect & efficiency. View Distance: This also changes rendering distance, Low = ~450m, Medium = ~750m, High = ~1000m Lightning Quality: For dx9 user u can only use Low/Medium, dx12 users can also use High setting.

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab> Settings for Performance > Change Virtual Memory Check "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" to enable it. Restart Computer Windows Hibernation Run cmd.exe as an Administrator Command: powercfg –h off Windows DPI scaling C: Program Files (x86) Steam steamapps common Ring of Elysium and right click Europa_client.exe Compatibility > check "override high DPI scaling behavior" and select "Application" from the drop-down menu. Also disable "Full screen optimization" Do the same for SLauncher.exe Windows GUI This is a drastical move and it will have impact on your GUI expereince in Windows, use this as a last resort. Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Settings for Performance > Select: Adjust for best performance Power Management Laptop users be warned this will consume much more battery! On Windows 7 set this to Performance Mode. Settings >System > Power & sleep > Addtional Power Settings Under Choose to customize a power plan, expand the option which says “Unhide Additional plans.” If you do not see Ultimate Performance Mode, then follow the next steps. Open a cmd.exe as Administrator In the command prompt, copy the following command, and hit Enter. powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 CPU Priority You may also try setting it to Normal / Above Normal.

Recommended to backup registry beforehand and create a restore point too. Run regedit.exe Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Multimedia SystemProfile" create/edit DWORD with name SystemResponsiveness and value 0 Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Multimedia SystemProfile Tasks Games" edit GPU Priority to 8 Priority to 6 Scheduling Category to High ADDITIONAL 1. Close unused background programs 2. Clean system using cleanmgr.exe or CCleaner. 3. Update all device drivers (e.g. with Driver Booster 6), especially Nvidea/AMD drivers!To uninstall previous display drivers i recommend using DDU 4. Disable Hardware acceleration where it's possible (Chrome, Discord, Steam ...etc) 5. Don't play on Wi-Fi, play over cable 6. Run game on SSD 7. Re-Install game once in a while Closure If you are new to ROE please add me as referral in-game: GGIKK5BU95A If still not satisfied with the result look into CPU/GPU/RAM overclocking possibilities. I get up-to 200+ FPS, but stable 144FPS if locked via RivaTuner.
