If you’re having trouble with low FPS, ping issues, or input lag in Marvel Rivals, follow this step-by-step guide to optimize performance and reduce latency.

Step 1: Set Up Your Computer for Gaming

• Turn On Game Mode:

  • Press the Windows key and search for Game Mode.

  • Turn it On to help your PC focus on gaming.

• Enable Graphics Features:

  • Search for Graphics Settings in Windows.

  • Select your dedicated graphics card under Default GPU.

  • Turn on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (if it’s available).

  • Turn on Optimizations for Windowed Games to improve performance.

• Close Background Apps:

  • Shut down apps like web browsers or chat programs you don’t need while playing.

Step 2: Adjust Graphics Settings in the Game

1. Change Graphics Settings:

   • Go to Settings > Graphics in the game and use these settings:

     • Global Illumination: Low.

     • Reflection Quality: Screen Space.

     • Model Detail: Medium (or Low for older PCs).

     • Post-Processing: Low.

     • Shadow Detail: Low.

     • Texture Detail: Match it to your Model Detail.

     • Effects Detail: Low.

     • Foliage Quality: Low.

2. Use Upscaling and Anti-Aliasing:

   • If you have an NVIDIA GPU, use DLSS Balanced.

   • For other GPUs, use AMD FSR Balanced.

   • Lower to Performance or Ultra Performance if you need more FPS.

Step 3: Reduce Input Lag

1. Enable Low Latency Mode:

   • Go to Settings > Display and turn on NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency if your card supports it.

2. Set an FPS Limit:

   • Use an FPS monitor like FrameView to check your average FPS.

   • Set an FPS cap slightly lower than your average:

     • Example: If your average is 120 FPS, cap it at 100 FPS.

   • This helps lower GPU usage and reduces lag.

Step 4: Test and Adjust Settings

1. Practice Range:

   • Use the Practice Range in the game to test changes and see the results in real time.

2. Fine-Tune Your FPS Cap:

   • If your FPS still drops, lower the cap by 10 more FPS.

   • If your FPS is stable, you can slightly raise the cap or improve visuals.

Bonus Tips

• Monitor GPU Usage: Keep GPU usage below 95% to avoid lag.

• Optional Frame Generation: If you use NVIDIA DLSS, enable Frame Generation for even smoother visuals once your settings are stable.
