Marvel Rivals is a competitive hero shooter that requires a stable connection to play smoothly, as a low FPS can ruin the competitive integrity of a match. Unfortunately, this very problem has proven to be a pressing issue for many players.
FPS stands for “frames per second,” which is the number of individual frames displayed on the screen per each second. The higher the FPS gets, the smoother the game looks and feels. The visuals become choppy and feel laggy when the FPS gets too low, making it more difficult to see what’s happening in-game in real time. This can lead to lower accuracy and even players completely missing plays altogether.
Gamers have been complaining across a variety of forums about their issues with Marvel Rivals’ low FPS. Here are some possible solutions for low FPS issues in Marvel Rivals.
There’s unfortunately a common complaint among players that Marvel Rivals is running at a low FPS, and most of those players are desperate for a fix. There are some common fixes for low FPS, but not all of them have been working for affected players. This includes disabling Microsoft services, setting the game to high priority for your GPU, adding the game as an exception in your router’s firewall settings, and even something as extreme as attempting to manually turn off the game’s anti-cheat software. Though messing with a game’s native anti-cheat is never recommended.
If you’ve tried these more common fixes and aren’t seeing any results with these issues, there’s one solution that seems to have worked for players with ongoing problems:
For some players, Marvel Rivals stops using the GPU, which caused the FPS to plummet. Enabling GPU acceleration ensures that Marvel Rivals is using the GPU again, which will potentially improve the FPS and avoid dramatic drops.
Since Marvel Rivals is competitive and requires accuracy, best FPS is always going to be a high number, the lowest FPS players should allow for 60 FPS. Here are the recommended settings on PC for the best results.
If you’re using these recommended settings and still getting a low FPS, try lowering your graphics settings. The game doesn’t necessarily need the highest graphics settings in order to look good and play well. Check out our other Marvel Rivals settings guides to ensure you’re playing at your best.
