If you want to increase performance in New World, the best possible way is to lower graphics settings. The game is very performance-heavy due to launch issues and so many players on servers all at once, so even if you have high-end specs, you will still lag and have frame rate issues and stuttering.

Because of this, the best possible way to deal with the performance problem in New World is to lower settings until the game gets more stable as the weeks go by and patches roll in.

That said, we recommend changing the following settings shown in the chart below to increase your performance in New World.

Beyond changing settings, players can also increase performance by closing apps in the background that they are not using. Players can also change their PC’s performance from low to high in either the Nvidia control panel or AMD equivalent.
