Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Stuttering Solutions
Lower Graphics Settings
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is graphically demanding. Ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications to avoid stuttering. If you only meet minimum requirements, carefully adjust your graphics settings. Access the in-game menu, select graphics options, and start with the lowest settings. Gradually increase them, monitoring performance for any improvement.
Consider changing your Display Sync Technology to VRR. Some users report this reduces lag and stuttering, although minor screen tearing might occur.
Update Your GPU Drivers
Outdated GPU drivers can significantly impact performance. Update to the latest version for optimal compatibility and performance. Nvidia users should open GeForce Experience and check for updates under the Drivers tab. AMD users can use AMD Adrenalin Edition to check for and install the latest drivers.

Use Mods
Community-created mods can sometimes alleviate stuttering. Two popular options are Fantasy Optimizer and Ultimate Engine Tweaks. These mods generally improve game performance. To install, create a mod folder within the game's directory and place the mod files there. Alternatively, use Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods. Note that Ultimate Engine Tweaks requires FFVIIHook.
Adjust Nvidia Settings
Nvidia users can try these additional settings: enable V-Sync and G-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel's graphics settings, while disabling V-Sync within the game itself. Experiment with the Low Latency Mode setting, toggling between "On" and "Ultra."
This covers the most effective methods for resolving stuttering in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
