Street Fighter 6 performance issues has been a problem for many players. This is especially true for those who are experiencing lag and stuttering on the PC version of the game via Steam. Depending on the specs of your specific rig, you can greatly impact the graphics and framerate quality of the game by changing specific settings. Here are some solutions to help fix any performance problems that you might be experiencing with SF6, be it in online or offline modes like World Tour.
How to fix performance issues with Street Fighter 6
Here are some ways to fix performance issues, like lag and framerate stuttering, in Street Fighter 6:
- Turn off Shader Quality to Low: In prior betas, this graphics setting can only be accessed in the main menu, as it’s grayed out otherwise.
- Turn off V-sync: This is a tough trade-off since this can lead to screen-tearing. It will make the framerate smoother, though, so it’s up to you whether this is really worth turning off.
- Reduce Internal Resolution: Lowering the internal resolution to a lower setting like 2 or 3 will noticeably relieve some rendering load on the GPU. However, it will make the game blurrier.
- Choose Performance Mode: Notably on consoles, there should be an option in the settings to select Performance Mode. This will lower the resolution but make the game run more smoothly.
It is expected that Capcom will eventually provide updates and patches that will address performance issues on PC and consoles. Like most major releases on PC, it’s difficult to optimize the game for every possible configuration, so it will take some time for any technical kinks to be worked out.
It will also take time for, say, Nvidia to come out with official Game Ready Drivers specifically for Street Fighter 6. Those will also surely aid anyone with a GeForce graphics card.
If you can’t wait for those, we recommend trying to use mods specifically for performance purposes, though be warned that Capcom may prevent some mods to be used online or used at all.
