Framerate may not have mattered much in the days of CRTs and local gameplay.
So, how many frames per second should you aim for?
The consensus among gamers isat least 60 FPS for the smoothest gameplay possible.
When a game’s framerate drops below this level, it can affect your timing.
In Marvel Rivals, a drop in your timing can significantly falter your team’s progression in a match.
This section is where you’ll setgraphical options that impact framerate.

What is the main takeaway?
In our experience,decreasing graphical fidelity is the quickest way to increase FPS.
We experienced the highest framerates while playing with a Low Graphic Quality preset.
Another significant setting regarding framerate was theAnti-Aliasing and Super Resolution key in used.
None of these AI technologies fared poorly, especially in theirUltra Performance controls.
Every machine is different.
So, we recommend tinkering with these options yourself to find what is right for you.
