Most players leave 15–30% of their performance on the table in Fragpunk. Below is the exact order we tune systems on the bench, what each change buys you, and how to verify it instead of trusting placebo.
Stop thermal throttling
Performance that vanishes after ten minutes is almost always heat. A throttling CPU or GPU silently drops clocks mid-match.
Tune a custom fan curve so the card ramps earlier; a few extra dB is worth steady clocks.
- Custom fan curve — ramp earlier, not louder-at-the-end
- GPU undervolt for cooler, steadier clocks
- Verify case airflow: intake front/bottom, exhaust top/rear
- Repaste if temps climbed over the last year
Lock your GPU control panel
Driver-level settings override in-game ones, so a misconfigured control panel quietly caps Fragpunk. We standardise these on every build.
Low Latency Mode set to Ultra (NVIDIA) or Anti-Lag (AMD) shaves real input delay when you're GPU-bound.
- 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 Fragpunk — 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
