Halo Infinite Technical Preview - How to Fix Low Frame Rates on PC

If you're a Halo Insider and received access to Halo Infinite's Technical Preview, chances are you have been playing quite a bit of Infinite this weekend.

“Players in the Technical Preview with high-end GPUs but bad performance: please check your framerate settings and make sure they're set to Minimum Frame Rate to 30 (or higher) and Maximum Frame Rate to native refresh rate,” Halo Support tweeted about the issue (usually 60). This might lead to a significant improvement.” While this did not work for us, many people have stated that it did help them perform better. Turning Latency Mode to Ultra in the Nvidia Control Panel was the first approach that improved performance for us. This seems to vastly improve performance, with a noticeable increase in frame rate. Setting your minimum and maximum frame rates to the same increased Tom Warren's performance by more than 50 frames per second, and this approach provided us a 20-frame-per-second boost, which significantly improved gaming. We were able to run the game at 1440p60 Ultra for the first time, but it was still not as steady as we would have expected, fluctuating a lot.

Of course, if everything else fails, gamers may always decrease the settings to compensate for frame rate, since performance nearly always wins out over aesthetics. We found Halo Infinite to be the most pleasant in this build by reducing the resolution and settings far below normal, resulting in a consistent frame rate of 80-100fps. This was a lot more fun than the continuously changing 1440p Ultra settings, and it allowed us to focus on the game instead of worrying about performance. This is far from ideal, and it's a shame this build wasn't optimized as much as we would have wanted.
