Welcome to our Slime Rancher 2 BOOST FPS & Reduce Input Latency Best Settings guide. This guide will help you get more performance (and enjoyment) from Slime Rancher 2.
Slime Rancher 2 BOOST FPS & Reduce Input Latency Best Settings
Slime Rancher 2’s default settings are amazing. It doesn’t work well out of the box. You need 5 minutes to adjust these settings and double your FPS.
Display Settings
Display settings are pretty intuitive, but you should double check this!
Resolution: Choose your native resolution (the highest)
I recommend Fullscreen and VSYNC Disabled. This is especially important if you have a adaptive sync or Gsync monitor. This goes for all games, not just Slime Rancher.
Framerate limit: 144, this should be optimal for most PCs.
FOV: This is personal preference. Choose what you like. 90 is a good choice if you are 2-3ft from your monitor. If you use a TV and sit far away, try a lower number 70-80.
Overscan: Why is this included in a game released in 2022? Go awayyy!
Graphics Settings – Slime Rancher 2 BOOST FPS & Reduce Input Latency Best Settings
If you play at 1440p with a mid-range GPU like me (for example a GTX1070 or RTX2060S or RTX3060), these setting should work for you.
I went from 30FPS to 60FPS. I’m sure you can optimize further than this. Please experiment.
Start with the top-most setting as MEDIUMand tweak from there.
Shaders: HIGH, does not cost much FPS on my card. Worth it.
Antialiasing OFF, my personal preference.
Chromatic Aberration: Disabled, This has a significant FPS improvement. Also disabling it only improves the visual clarity. IMO, it’s kinda dumb to have this on by default.
Ambient Occlusion: Normal. This usually costs some FPS, but the visual gain is worth it.
Textures: HIGH, If you have less than 8GB of VRAM, consider setting textures Medium or Low.
Input Settings
This is important!
Mouse Smoothing: DISABLED…PLEASE do this one if nothing else.
It makes zero sense this is enabled by default. Smoothing adds significant input lag. Most modern games disable this by default. I hope future patches will correct this oversight.
Mouse Look Sensitivity: Just a casual reminder to edit the mouse sensitivity until it works for your style. Ignore the value I chose.
That is all! – Slime Rancher 2 BOOST FPS & Reduce Input Latency Best Settings
Hopefully this guide helps you get more performance (and enjoyment) out of Slime Rancher 2.
I made this guide quickly on launch day, so the menu options and resulting FPS is subject to change.
Feel free to provide more suggestions in the comments.
Enjoy this FPS BOOSTED Honey-Bun Slime…
