Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Stuttering Solutions
Lower Graphics Settings
Given that *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* is a graphically intensive game, it's crucial to ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications to prevent stuttering. If your system only meets the minimum requirements, adjusting your graphics settings is essential. Navigate to the game's menu, select the graphics options, and start with the lowest settings. Gradually increase these settings while keeping an eye on the game's performance.
Consider switching your Display Sync Technology to VRR, as some players have found this reduces lag and stutter, although it may introduce some visual fragmentation.
Update Your GPU Driver
In addition to adjusting graphics settings, updating your GPU driver can significantly improve performance. The latest drivers often optimize performance for new releases. Nvidia users can update through GeForce Experience by selecting the Drivers option on the left side. Meanwhile, AMD users should check for updates via AMD Adrenalin Edition, where the main menu will indicate if you're running the latest version.

Use Mods
Mods can also be a solution to stutter issues in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*. Two recommended mods are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks, both of which can enhance the game's performance. Installing these mods is straightforward: create a mod folder in the game's directory, and place the mod files inside. Alternatively, use the Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods. Note that using Ultimate Engine Tweaks requires FFVIIHook.
Change Your Nvidia Settings
For Nvidia users, tweaking your settings can also help eliminate stuttering. Enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Graphics section of your Nvidia settings, but make sure to disable V-Sync within the game itself. Additionally, set the Low Latency Mode to either 'On' or 'Ultra' for optimal performance.
With these tips, you should be able to address the stuttering problems in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* and enjoy a smoother gaming experience.
