Best PC Settings For Diablo 4
If you are still struggling with low frames, you may want to adjust some of your PC settings even after changing the above settings. Below I have included a guide to improving your gaming experience on PC, whether you are playing Diablo 4 or another game.
Turn Game Mode On On Your PC
If you want to get the most out of your PC for gaming, you should have game mode enabled. Navigate to the Windows Button –> Search –> Game Mode Settings and turn Game Mode on.
