Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Stuttering Solutions
Lower Graphics Settings
*Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* is a visually stunning yet demanding game. To combat stuttering, ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications. If you're scraping by with the minimum requirements, adjusting your graphics settings is crucial. Navigate to the game's menu, select the graphics options, and start with the lowest settings. Gradually increase them while keeping an eye on performance to find the sweet spot for your system.
Consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR, as some players have found this reduces lag and stutter, though it might introduce some visual fragmentation.
Update Your GPU Driver
Keeping your GPU driver up to date is essential for optimal performance in new releases like *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*. For Nvidia users, open GeForce Experience and check the Drivers section. AMD users should launch AMD Adrenalin Edition to see if an update is available. Newer drivers often include performance enhancements tailored for the latest games.

Use Mods
Mods can be a game-changer for fixing stutter issues. Two recommended mods for *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These can significantly boost performance. To use them, create a mod folder within the game's directory and add the mod files. For ease of use, consider the Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods. Remember, Ultimate Engine Tweaks requires FFVIIHook to function.
Change Your Nvidia Settings
Nvidia users have an additional tweak at their disposal. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Nvidia Graphics settings, but ensure V-Sync is disabled within the game itself. Also, adjust the Low Latency Mode to either 'On' or 'Ultra' to further reduce stuttering.
These are the key strategies to eliminate stuttering in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* and enjoy a smoother gameplay experience.
