Performance issues or FPS drops in Stellar Blade? There is an easy trick that may help with stuttering
Stellar Blade is available on PC. However, some players, instead of enjoying the game, are struggling with technical issues. So, let’s talk about FPS drops.
What's a game release without technical errors? Modern games often have issues. Players who want to play the newest productions often struggle with different bugs. While the PC port of Stellar Blade is better than most, some people still report crashes and FPS drops. We have already given tips to the first problem. Now, let’s focus on the second one in this guide.
Performance issues in Stellar Blade PC version
Like I mentioned earlier, the full version of Stellar Blade has some performance issues. Luckily, most of players enjoy the game without bigger problems, however, we will not leave those who have FPS drops without help. There is one trick that helps many people. First of all, you should try restarting Steam and PC. It’s the simplest way to fix stuttering. If this is not enough, try other basic solutions like:
- lowering your graphic settings in game,
- verifying game files.
These solutions can solve the problem with FPS drops very quickly. If they didn’t help, you should check your graphics card drivers – especially if you have Nvidia GPU. Some players report that GeForce Hotfix Driver 576.66 can be the problem. It looks like this driver resolved Dune: Awakening crashes but at the same time, it has caused players to have performance issues in Stellar Blade. So, to fix this problem, you should reroll and install older drivers. You can do this via the official Nvidia website – you must simply choose your GPU, OS and language.
- Download older drivers (576.52 for example).
- Open Settings, click “Applications” tab and uninstall GPU drivers.
- Install the downloaded older version.
If the above didn’t help, you should check the specifications of your PC and compare it with games’ minimum system requirements. Fortunately, they are not very high.
- Processor: Intel Core i5-7600k Processor or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
- Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Storage: 75 GB (HDD Supported, SSD Recommended)
Of course, if you have the possibility, install the game on SSD. This should increase game’s performance. Additionally, it’s also worth checking your RAM – if you use old DDR4 technology, it can be simply too slow.
