How to Increase FPS in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is one of the hottest multiplayers releases in a while. The title takes the Overwatch formula and combines it with the chaos of Marvel characters to a great result. In a very short time, the title has managed to amass a huge audience already.  

The game is highly competitive, but getting decent FPS to run the game smoothly is as important as choosing the right hero. Based on how quick and action-packed it is, a higher FPS is guaranteed to give you a boost over your competitors.  

Unfortunately, Marvel Rivals isn’t the lightest of games due to its high graphical fidelity. So, getting high FPS requires you to have beefy system specs. However, some settings can help you increase your FPS to get that added advantage.  

The following points can help you increase your FPS in Marvel Rivals:  

  • Tone Down the Graphics Quality: Since Marvel Rivals isn’t about the best visual flair, and more about being competitive and skillful, to get more frames, you can dial down the graphics a bit. Say, if you're playing at high settings, toning it down to medium won’t affect the visuals much, but will provide a boost to the FPS.  

  • Turn Global Illumination Off: Global Illumination is the natural lighting that we have in games and is a feature of Unreal Engine 5. Toning it down to low and turning off Lumen, especially for competitive play, can increase your FPS.  

  • Use Upscaling Technology (DLSS, FSR, TSR, XeSS): Turning on Super Resolution Technology and Anti-Aliasing will significantly increase the FPS. You can use DLSS, FSR, XeSS, or TSR, whatever works best for you. Make sure to keep it to quality or balanced, so there aren’t any noticeable artifacts.  

  • Make Sure the GPU Drivers Are Updated: Updated GPU drivers ensure the best overall performance for your GPU. Download the companion app for Nvidia, AMD, or Intel, whatever you're using, and keep the drivers updated.  

Yes, some of these settings can hinder the overall experience, but considering how fast-paced the game is, they are necessary. However, using Frame Generation isn’t recommended because it introduces major input lag.
