Valheim

  • Graphics Performance Tips
    • AMD Graphics Card
      • Once you’re in, turn off all the proprietary post-processing options that AMD has enabled by default. These include Radeon Anti-Lag, Radeon Chill, and Radeon Boost.
      • Also, turn off wait for Vertical Refresh (which will boost performance but can cause screen tearing).
      • Disable Image Sharpening, Anisotropic Filtering, Maximum Tessellation Level, Frame Rate Target Control, and OpenGL Triple Buffering.
      • Now, turn on Surface Format Optimization.
      • For the GPU Workload setting, select Graphics Mode for the best performance.
      • Select Performance Mode under the Texture Filtering Quality option.
      • Finally, set both Tessellation and Shader Cache to AMD Optimized mode for the most optimal experience while playing Valheim.
    • NVIDIA graphics card
      • change the power management mode to performance mode.
      • Turn off Image Sharpening mode. This will turn off the sharpness post-processing that can hog up your resources.
      • Disable Low-Latency Mode.
      • Set the Max Pre-Rendered Frames value to 1. This will ensure that your GPU is working on the immediate next frame rather than trying to process what’s ahead.
      • Enable Threaded Optimization and G-Sync if your monitor supports it.
      • Set the Display Mode to Single Display Performance Mode. This can help massively if you have a multi-monitor setup as this tunnels the resources into a single display.
      • For Texture Filtering Quality, select the Performance Mode option.
