I’m not going to mince my words. God of War Ragnarok is a hot messfor a PC portif you’re playing on anything but a top-end machine. The game itself is enormous and demands a lot from your GPU, often not even recognizing it at all. If you’re struggling with performance, such as low FPS and stuttering in God of War Ragnarok, this is how you may fix it.
Best graphics settings for God of War Ragnarok
When first starting God of War Ragnarok, provided the game will let you and you have the SSD space, you may notice relatively low FPS and some performance issues. This can be for several reasons, but they can be remedied witha few tweaks to your GPU or the in-game settings.
One of the main causes of bad FPS, stuttering, and performance issues with God of War Ragnarok isthe sheer size of the game. If you notice your hard drive is running out of space, you should clear some up by deleting big files and freeing some up. The game will struggle to load shaders and run well with no space left on your drives.
Also,God of War Ragnarok needs an SSD to runalong with at least 6GB of dedicated VRAM. If you’re lacking in either of these areas, the game simply will not work.
In-game graphics settings
These settings are where you should start before tweaking the way your GPU works. Thankfully, the settings are quite simple due to the game being a PlayStation port. A few adjustments here and there willgive much better FPS, sort out screen tear, and improve performancein God of War Ragnarok.
These settings will render the game at reasonable FPS and performance, lowering the chance of screen tear and stuttering in God of War Ragnarok. If you’re still struggling,I suggest dropping everything down to low and seeing how that fares.

These settings are for Nvidia cards in particular. To open the GPU settings, head to the task tray in the bottom right of your screen. Here, you canopen the Nvidia GPU settings by right-clicking on the icon and selecting the NVIDIA control panel. This will bring up the GPU menu. A few settings should be changed in order to get the best performance out of God of War Ragnarok.
These settings will help God of War Ragnarok run as smoothly as possible on your PC. This way, you willget the best FPS and visuals from the game. If you’re still struggling with the game, ensure you have cleared some space on your SSD and have the necessary amount of VRAM on your GPU. If not, it may just be time toupgrade your GPU.
