Far Far West Best Graphics Settings for High FPS (2026)

If your GPU is overheating or your frame rate is tanking the moment you step into a town, you are fighting against default settings that are pushing your hardware too hard. Use these optimized values to cut down on unnecessary processing without turning your game into a blurry mess.

Why this happens

Far Far West uses high-end lighting and shadow effects that can overwhelm even modern GPUs. Reducing specific settings like Lumen Illumination and Foliage Density drastically lowers CPU and GPU load.

Steps

1. 01
   Open the game settings and reset everything to default to ensure no old configs are causing conflicts
2. 02
   Set Display Mode to Fullscreen and V-Sync to No
3. 03
   Change FPS Limit to Unlimited or match it to your monitor's refresh rate
4. 04
   Set Antialiasing to TAA and ensure Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR Frame Generation are turned Off to minimize input lag
5. 05
   Turn Lumen Illumination to Off to prevent extreme GPU strain
6. 06
   Set Shadow Quality to No Shadows for the most significant FPS gain
7. 07
   Adjust Post Process Quality to Medium, and keep Texture Quality at High unless you have low VRAM
8. 08
   Set Details, Particle Quality, and Foliage Density all to Low
9. 09
   Apply these changes and test in a high-traffic area like a town
10. 10
    If performance is still low, drop Render Quality to 90% or enable DLSS / FSR upscaling on the Quality preset
