How to fix lag for WWE 2k18

[BirdyGurdy]

Now, this method worked for me, I went from 10 FPS - 60 FPS using these steps.

If you have a NVDIA graphics card, than this will mostly work for you, or atleast boost your FPS a bit.

Step One: Right click on your desktop and find "NVDIA Control Panel"

Step Two: Find and click on "Manage 3D settings"

Step Three: Click on "Program Settings"

Step Four: Click on "Select a program to customize" and find WWE 2k18 and select it.

Step Five: Click on "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program" Once there, find and click on "High-performance NVIDIA processor" than select okay.

These five steps will gain you FPS in WWE 2k18 If this didnt help your game at all increase with FPS, than you're PC mostly can't handle the game at all. I know as a fact I could run this game, so seeing 10 FPS at the start I knew something was wrong with the settings. So, I fixed it by doing these steps, now I can finally play WWE 2k18 with good FPS.

no matter when any badly programmed game ap
pears you always find someone who writes what you write there as a helpguide in the internet.xD is not meant nasty, but who has a pc to play and does not know that you can change to performance in the system control panel , should rather buy a console.
so this is not an optimization thread, nor is it a secret, nor will a unplayable game become playable because of that. by the way ... the nvidia control panel should only be used when problems occur in a game. with the exceptions of force anisotrope filtering via control panel /and/or setting/fixing/forcing antialising!! so before you lower the texture filter or rendering performance. lower antialising.. or in other games other stuff to get your sweetpoint. texture filtering dont cost much performance. i play every game with anisotropfiltering at x16 and texture filtering at high quality at 4k resolution... just when i need triliniear filter i set it to quality.... never had a problem with that since 6 years.
But.... to each his own :) sorry about my bad english.
I wish you a pleasant day

edit: im not playing 4k since 6 years :) but 4.

edit2:
at fullhd and 2k resolution the game runs very very smooth at 60fps... entrances locked at 30.
but 3840x2160 you can forget to play in 60 fps at this moment i think. its like its locked at 40-45-50 fps---- it depends on what kind of stipulations and matches you play. i think the problem is that the textures of 2k18 (like 2k17) are in very high resolutions. more that 4k. i just want to say that the textures without filtering already very large!! that means you need much graphicsmemory... just without that you filter it

[WolvereeN]

when you already change rendering or filtering settings than disable anisotropic filter and use triliniear. because you have then synonymous possibly more performance because there is a filter more... plus the operation costs less performance.anisotrop 2x 4x 8x that rearly makes difference in performance. when than change filtering itselfs. but thats just my opinion and Experience

this problem for who have dual grafiq display .. i mean his dekstop show intel grafiq setting & nvidia grafiq setting .. then they need to manualy set which grafiq then want use . then like your post ..this the way to do manual

[WolvereeN]

in case og wwe2k18 its just minimum on performance that changes when you change settings...
no matter which. the game is a consoleport... and like the years before ,a very bad sadly. i play wrestling games since wwf wrestlemania at SNES... but thats sad... sorry 2k... can not be said otherwise

[WolvereeN]

yes i know. i have just one card (no integrted) but i know :) I have had to adjust it with many friends already

[WolvereeN]

i mean it not bad at all

[WolvereeN]

at 2k17 it worked for me perfect to change the numerator settings in the config file and set it to read only... at this moment the game runs without trouble. but at this release it doesnt work... :(

[WolvereeN]

the game costs much cpu performance and very much gpu performance... no matter what you set. 2k we need a performance patch or something :)
maybe it comes 2020 xD

[WolvereeN]

well, I wish you a nice day

[WolvereeN]

...if you dont know it... change in the config simplylighting to on and audience tesselation to off... that can give you some fps ;) texture quality just cost memory. so higher the textures are set it costs more memory. when you have enought memory that you can set the highest textures. once loaded in the graphicsmemory they be placed there for the time the card need it. the preparation and sharpening (filter) cost performance. textures dont cost performance. just filtering it :)

so enough of that ... sorry
bye bye :)
