The Finals performance after the latest patch — re-tune checklist
If your frames feel inconsistent in The Finals, the problem is rarely a single setting — it's the stack. This guide walks the full chain from Windows to GPU to peripherals so the gains actually hold under load.
Cap your frame rate (yes, really)
Capping is the most counter-intuitive win here. A stable 237 FPS feels better than a spiky 400 because the frame-time graph flattens out.
For a 240Hz panel in The Finals, cap around 234–237 FPS. On 144Hz, target ~141. Use the in-game limiter first, then the driver as a backstop.
Lock your GPU control panel
Driver-level settings override in-game ones, so a misconfigured control panel quietly caps The Finals. We standardise these on every build.
Force the GPU into its max performance state so it doesn't down-clock between rounds.
- Power management → Prefer maximum performance
- Low Latency Mode → Ultra (or Radeon Anti-Lag On)
- Texture filtering → Performance / High performance
- Disable in-game V-Sync; cap FPS just under your refresh instead
Verify it actually worked
Never trust the average FPS number alone. Watch 1% and 0.1% lows and frame-time consistency in The Finals — that's what 'smooth' really means.
Run the same replay or aim-trainer routine before and after, capture with a frame-time overlay, and only keep changes that flatten the graph.
- Benchmark the same scene before/after
- Track 1% lows, not just average FPS
- Watch the frame-time line — flatter is better
- Change one thing at a time so you know what moved the needle
- ✓Cap your frame rate (yes, really)
- ✓Power management → Prefer maximum performance
- ✓Benchmark the same scene before/after
