The Finals Best Settings For MAX FPS

If you are struggling to keep your frame rate stable in The Finals, you are likely dealing with bottlenecked GPU overhead caused by unnecessarily high graphical presets. These tweaks prioritize raw speed and low input latency, moving you from choppy performance to a consistently fluid experience.

Why this happens

High-fidelity lighting and shadow settings often mask the core engine performance in competitive shooters, forcing your GPU to work harder than necessary. Lowering these specific parameters removes the overhead that causes micro-stutters during heavy action.

What you'll need

Ensure your graphics drivers are fully updated before starting, as outdated drivers are a known cause of performance instability in this specific title.

Steps

1. 01
   Open the video settings and set Window Mode to Borderless Fullscreen to ensure the best balance of input speed and stability.
2. 02
   Disable VSync and DLSS Frame Generation to remove unnecessary latency that can make your movement feel delayed.
3. 03
   Set Nvidia Reflex Low Latency to On + Boost to effectively cut input lag without sacrificing frame rates.
4. 04
   Change your resolution scaling method to No AA and keep the render resolution at 100% to maintain a clean image while freeing up GPU resources.
5. 05
   Set Shadows, Effects, Reflections, GI Resolution, Anti-aliasing, Post Processing, and Foliage all to Low.
6. 06
   Set View Distance and Texture quality to Medium to keep surfaces sharp and ensure players remain visible at a distance.
7. 07
   Set RTX Global Illumination to Static to minimize the performance tax of high-end lighting features.
8. 08
   Verify that Motion Blur is off and set your Field of View to 90 to avoid image warping that negatively impacts your aim.
9. 09
   In your Windows Power & Sleep settings, ensure your system is set to the High Performance power plan to prevent hardware throttling.

Still not working?

If you are still hitting low frames, monitor your GPU usage in-game. If your GPU usage is pinned at 100%, lower your render scale to 90 or 85. If you experience sudden frame drops, check your system temperatures to ensure your CPU or GPU isn't thermal throttling during matches.

Frequently asked questions

Will using 'No AA' make the game look jagged?

At 1440p resolution, 'No AA' keeps the image quite sharp. If you find the edges look too harsh, you can toggle it slightly higher, but it will carry a performance cost.

Why is 'Frame Generation' bad for a competitive shooter?

Frame Generation inserts artificial frames between real ones, which creates significant input delay. In a fast-paced game like The Finals, responsiveness is more important than the visual smoothness provided by generated frames.

Does lowering textures to Low help FPS?

Not significantly. Keeping textures at Medium prevents muddy visuals that make it harder to spot enemies, and the performance cost compared to Low is negligible on most modern GPUs.
