Best The Sinking City 2 graphics settings for no lag and max FPS

Destructoid · ·

The Sinking City 2 is now available on PC and consoles, and you can tweak the in-game settings to get better performance on your setup. For large parts, the game works pretty well on my end, but I did encounter lags and stutters until I made a few changes.

In this guide, I will go through a list of settings you can use to run The Sinking City 2 smoothly on your device.

Best The Sinking City 2 graphics

Before I dive deep into the graphics, here’s a quick run down of my current setup.

  • AMD Radeon 9060XT 16 GB
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
  • 32 GB of DDR4 RAM

In this guide, I have focused more towards devices that are closer to the minimum requirements. If you have a more powerful rig, you can scale up certain values by one.

  • Screen: Personal preference
  • Upscaling: None. However, turn this on if you’re struggling with rags.
  • Resolution Quality: 100%.
  • V-Sync: Off. However, turn this on if you’re getting stutters. Having it turned on will reduce the FPS by certain extent but increase the smoothness of the game.
  • FPS Limit: 60 FPS. This seems like the sweet spot for now and it doesn’t cause any hindrance.
  • Motion Blur: Off
  • Graphics Preset: Custom
  • View Distance: Medium
  • Anti-Aliasing: Low
  • Post-Processing: Medium
  • Textures: Low
  • Effects: Medium
  • Foliage: Low
  • Reflections: Low
  • Global Illumination: Low
  • Shading: Low
  • Hair: High

I noticed the most significant change after I capped the FPS, so I assume that’s a problem in the current build. When writing, The Sinking City 2 is still awaiting the full launch. I expect some issues to resolve as we get few post-launch patches.
