Titanfall 2 Gets Huge Performance Improvements in Latest PC Patch

Titanfall 2 has just got a huge update, and while the changes it brings will offer improved performance for almost all PC users, it’s set to be most beneficial to those with lower powered systems. The update will improve performance with features like adaptive resolution scaling and TSAA, but use it with a slight caution.

To get the most performance, you’ll want to enable Adaptive Resolution Scaling, and you’ll need to enable TSAA. You can set your performance target, say 60FPS, but keep in mind that if you set the performance target too high for your GPUs capabilities, it could significantly drop the image quality to keep those frames up, so don’t expect a budget card to push 4K@60 just because of the new trickery.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
