Abiotic Factor Best Settings for Maximum FPS

Your frame rate in Abiotic Factor is dropping or stuttering, making the game feel unresponsive during combat or base building. By tweaking the engine priority and specific visual overhead settings, you can shift from a sluggish experience to a smooth 100+ FPS.

Why this happens

Abiotic Factor suffers from heavy CPU overhead and inefficient rendering techniques like global illumination. Adjusting these settings reduces the load on your hardware while keeping the game looking sharp.

Steps

1. 01
   Open the game menu, navigate to Settings, and select the Graphics tab.
2. 02
   Set Window Mode to Fullscreen, turn VSync to Off, and set Max FPS to Off.
3. 03
   Change CPU Usage to Low, which paradoxically forces the game to utilize higher priority threads.
4. 04
   Set View Distance, Post Processing, Shadows, Foliage, and Anti-aliasing to Low.
5. 05
   Turn Global Illumination to Off to reclaim significant frame rates, then set Reflections, Bloom, and Effects to Medium.
6. 06
   Set Anti-aliasing type to FXAA to prevent the motion blur associated with TAA.
7. 07
   Navigate to the Gameplay tab and toggle Mouse Smoothing to Off to remove input latency.
8. 08
   Restart the game to ensure all graphical changes are properly applied.

Still not working?

If your frame rates remain low, check for background software interference. Disable the Discord Overlay or Nvidia ShadowPlay Overlay, as these often conflict with the game engine. Additionally, ensure your GPU drivers are updated via your card manufacturer's software, as outdated drivers are a common source of performance bottlenecks.

Frequently asked questions

Will changing Textures to Epic hurt my performance?

It depends on your VRAM. If you have 8GB or more, keeping textures at Epic should be fine, but if you notice stuttering, drop this setting to High or Medium.

Does turning off Global Illumination make the game look bad?

It removes some dynamic lighting effects, but in Abiotic Factor, the performance gain of 15 to 30 FPS far outweighs the minor visual loss.

Why does the game feel blurry when I move?

This is usually caused by TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing). Switching your Anti-aliasing type to FXAA in the graphics settings will clear up the image during movement.
