    My friends know me for calling my computer a GTX 680 stapled to a dead cat, powered by wishes. But I've found the magic combination of tweaks to get the best performance possible.

    Right click an empty space on your desktop and click NVIDIA Control Panel:

    Now make sure you're on "Manage 3d Settings"

    Change Power management mode to "Prefer maximum performance"
    Change Texture filtering - Quality to "High performance"

    On the Shroud of the Avatar launcher, click the gear in the upper right, then in the Launch Arguments box, (if you use the steam launcher: right click Shroud of the Avatar, click properties, click Launch Options) then enter:
    -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded

    I am having trouble finding the gear. The gear I am clicking on says Configure Data Path and Restore to Default?

    My launcher doesn't look like yours? Is it because I use Steam?

    Yeah. So you can do the same thing with steam though, it's just a bit different.

    Right click Shroud of the Avatar, click properties, now look for "Set Launch Options" and put the same line from above in there.

    That's a bit of a performance increase. But you'll get the best performance increase by changing the nvidia settings.

    Got it! Thank you very much sir through the SoTA launcher, but I can not find it in Steam.
