Campaign running like crap on your AMD GPU? I’ll help you get it playable!
Prerequisites
First and foremost, this guide applies to old AMD GPUs like the R9 380, R9 390, R9 290, R9 Fury, RX470/480, and RX 570/580/590.
This guide will enable you to play the open world campaign at 30 fps for the most part. One thing to keep in mind is that this game is bugged to max out your CPU if you uncap the fps or have it above 120.
In smaller campaign missions you can set the fps limit to 60 because they run WAY better than the open world.
PSA for R9 GPU owners: You will need modded drivers to run this game, link below. In addition, your GPU MUST support at least DX12 Feature level 12_0. This can be verified by running GPU-z
If you have reservations about using modded drivers, please see this youtube video and decide for yourself whether or not it’s worth it, I’ve had zero issues in the 3 months I’ve had them installed.
Driver Settings
Got the latest AMD optional Drivers or Nimez Modded Drivers? No? Get them here!
You want 21.12 optional drivers – [amd.com]
Got them? Good. Let’s move on.
Key point to keep in mind is that Radeon Settings cannot make a profile for the Xbox App version of Halo Infinite, so you WILL have to set settings globally.
Settings for the Steam version below
Settings for the Xbox App Version below, do keep in mind that these are global settings and will apply to every game, so turn it on and off before starting the game.
Radeon Sharpening helps IMMENSELY with this game at low res.
Halo Infinite Graphics settings
First and foremost, THIS IS A BUGGY GAME!
If you don’t have an FPS cap it will max out your CPU! If you set it from windowed to fullscreen and back it will lag out!
If you change settings in game and try to play, it will bug out and lag after a while so restart your game after any setttings are changed!
In addition, it’s VERY cpu heavy. I have to keep almost all apps closed on my i7 2600k to play this game, so keep that in mind.
Moving on, some RX 400/500 users have reported that their game will crash with Async Compute enabled. I have not verified this and recommend it is left on. If it does crash for you with it on, turn it off.
Final thing you should know: The xbox app has vastly better load times than the Steam version.
PSA: UNINSTALL THE HD TEXTURE PACK IN DLC.
Settings below.
Go to UI and disable these items.
Go to video and mimic these settings. Yes, I’m aware the FOV sucks but it’s the only way it was consistent for me.
Set Sharpening to 60-80%
Remember: ALWAYS restart the game after changing ANY graphics settings.
Concluding thoughts
AMD’s optimizations on old GPUs are garbage so this is what we’re stuck with.
Please report if you have any issues and take care!
