Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Best Graphics and Controller Settings

KitsuneGuide Watch on YouTube ↗

If you are struggling with stuttering frame rates or clunky car handling in Tokyo Xtreme Racer, your default settings are likely working against you. This guide provides a balanced configuration to smooth out your visuals and tighten up your controller or keyboard response times so you can focus on racing.

Why performance varies

Tokyo Xtreme Racer can suffer from physics bugs when frame rates fluctuate or run too high, leading to unstable car behavior. Adjusting specific graphics settings ensures the game engine remains synchronized while maintaining a clean, responsive display.

Graphics configuration

For the best balance, set Draw Distance to Ultra for visibility and Post-Processing to Medium to reduce distracting motion blur. Keep VSync turned off and use DLSS set to Balanced to reclaim lost frames.

Steps

  1. 01
    Navigate to the Graphics menu and set your FPS limit to Unlimited, but switch to 60 if you notice physics glitches or erratic car movement.
  2. 02
    Set DLSS to Balanced with a Sharpness value of 0.3 to keep the highway visuals crisp while boosting your overall framerate.
  3. 03
    Go to the Controller settings menu and adjust your Handling Dead Zone to 3 and Response Time to 0.5 to eliminate input lag.
  4. 04
    Change your Text Speed to Fast in the game settings to cut out unnecessary delays in dialogue sequences.
  5. 05
    Adjust your Field of View to 90 to improve your peripheral vision, which is essential for tracking other racers on the highway.

Still not working?

If you are still experiencing significant frame drops after applying these settings, check that your GPU drivers are updated to the latest version. If the game crashes, verify the integrity of the game files through your game launcher, as corrupted textures can interfere with the post-processing engine.

Frequently asked questions

Will capping the FPS at 60 make the game look choppy?

On a standard 60Hz monitor, no. Capping the game at 60 is actually recommended if you experience physics bugs, as the game engine can behave unpredictably at very high refresh rates.

Do these controller settings work for steering wheels?

These settings are specifically calibrated for gamepads and keyboard input. Steering wheel setups require a different calibration within the game's force feedback menu.

Does turning off VSync cause screen tearing?

It can, but it significantly reduces input latency. If you have a G-Sync or FreeSync monitor, turn off VSync in-game and enable G-Sync in your GPU control panel instead.
