Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Stuttering Solutions
Lower Graphics Settings
*Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* is a graphically intensive game, requiring robust hardware to run smoothly. If your PC only meets the minimum system requirements, adjusting your graphics settings is crucial to mitigate stuttering. Access the game's menu, navigate to the graphics options, and start by setting them to the lowest possible. Gradually increase these settings while keeping an eye on the game's performance to find the optimal balance.
Additionally, consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR. Some players have found this adjustment helps in reducing lag and stutter, although it might introduce some visual fragmentation.
Update Your GPU Driver
Ensuring your GPU driver is up to date is another key step in improving game performance. Newer drivers often include optimizations for the latest games. Nvidia users can update their drivers through GeForce Experience by selecting the 'Drivers' option. AMD users should check for updates via AMD Adrenalin Edition, where the main menu will indicate if you're running the latest version.

Use Mods
For those comfortable with modding, using performance-enhancing mods can be a game-changer. Two recommended mods for *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods can significantly improve the game's performance. To use them, create a mod folder within the game's directory and add the mod files. Alternatively, you can use the Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods. Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks requires the use of FFVIIHook.
Change Your Nvidia Settings
Nvidia users have an additional option to combat stuttering. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel under the Graphics settings, but ensure V-Sync is disabled within the game itself. Also, consider setting the Low Latency Mode to 'On' or 'Ultra' to further enhance performance.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce or eliminate stuttering issues in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
