Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Stuttering Solutions
Lower Graphics Settings
*Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* is a graphically intensive game, requiring robust hardware to run smoothly. If your PC only meets the minimum system requirements, you'll need to adjust your graphics settings carefully. Access the game's menu, navigate to the graphics options, and start by setting everything to the lowest possible settings. Gradually increase these settings while keeping an eye on the game's performance to find the optimal balance.
Additionally, consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR. Some players have found that this adjustment helps minimize lag and stuttering, although it might introduce some visual fragmentation.
Update Your GPU Driver
Ensuring your GPU driver is up to date is crucial for optimal game performance. Newer drivers often include optimizations for the latest games. Nvidia users can update their drivers through GeForce Experience by selecting the Drivers option from the left sidebar. AMD users should open AMD Adrenalin Edition, where the main menu will indicate if an update is available.

Use Mods
Mods can be a powerful tool to combat stuttering in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*. Two recommended mods are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks, both of which can significantly improve game performance. To use these mods, create a mod folder within the game's directory and place the mod files inside. For a more streamlined experience, consider using the Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods. Keep in mind that Ultimate Engine Tweaks requires the use of FFVIIHook.
Change Your Nvidia Settings
For Nvidia users, adjusting your graphics settings can also help alleviate stuttering. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel under the Graphics section, but ensure V-Sync is disabled within the game itself. Additionally, set the Low Latency Mode to either 'On' or 'Ultra' to further enhance performance.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce or eliminate stuttering issues in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
