In order to get the best performance open your settings.json in your documents/Steelrising folder and under graphic edit these settings.

(Make a backup of your file before you change the values)

"graphic": {
"displayMode": "FULLSCREEN",
"resolutionX": 1920,
"resolutionY": 1080,
"refreshRate": 144.00100708007813,
"screenIndex": 0,
"vsync": 0,
"shadowQuality": "LOW",
"shadowCascadeDistanceQuality": "LOW",
"undergrowthDistanceQuality": "LOW",
"terrainUberTesselation": "DISABLE",
"lodDistanceQuality": "LOW",
"clothQuality": "LOW",
"ssaoQuality": "DISABLED",
"aaQuality": "TAA",
"particlesQuality": "LOW",
"refractionQuality": "LOW",
"texturesQuality": "LOW",
"anisotropicQuality": "LOW",
"gamma": 1.0,
"resolutionRatio": 1.0,
"fovMultiplier": 0.5,
"isHdr": false,[/b] 
"reflectionQuality": "LOW",

"raytracingEnabled": "DISABLE",
"upscaling": "FSR",
"foliageAnimation": "DISABLE",
"dlssMode": "AUTO",
"fsrMode": "ULTRA_QUALITY"
},

These give me 90-130 fps on a GTX1070 and i5-12600k.

Other simple improvement tips that are not related to Steelrising

NVIDIA control panel:

• preferred refresh rate: highest available
• If you prefer, you can sharpen the edges: Search for regedit fix if it is something that you would like to add back to programs and not under global settings
• Maximum frequency at 72 frames per second + vsync at half the monitor refresh rate IF your monitor is 144Hz. You will get between 80-144 frames.
• Pre-Raised Frames starting at 1
• Low latency: On

Windows & Software

• Add the game to Windows graphics settings: high performance
• If you have ram stutters, use intelligent standby cleaner. Before using (, please be informed
