Based on my recommended settings versus all settings turned on, I gained a decentadditional 15-17 FPS on averagewhile playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 while roaming around the open areas. Towns, especially very populated cities like Vernworth, are a whole different mess.
The problem with Dragon’s Dogma 2 is it’svery CPU-heavy, meaning your PC can’t push your GPU as fast as it should. In my case, I have an actualGPU bottleneckduring exploration with theRTX 2060. When it comes to towns, myRyzen 5700Xsuffers massively, as even I getas low as 30FPS,and I don’t even get a full 100% GPU usage due to how the A.I. works in this game.
In cases where you barely see any FPS difference when changing graphics settings on other and much more recent cards, it’s likely that the CPU is the limiting factor based onCapcom’s statement. With that said, your mileage may vary with these recommended graphical settings.

How to enable Frame Generation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 for higher FPS
There are two options for Frame Generation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 until Capcom officially releases their official patch. Here are both of them:
Frame Generation on any GPU in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Lossless Scaling
One of the most basic ways to implement Frame Generation is by using a program called Lossless Scaling. Here’s how to set it up for Dragon’s Dogma 2:
The problem with this method is that it causes a lot ofghosting on the characters, which can be distracting for the player, especially during tense moments of combat. If you don’t have an RTX GPU, I recommend using this tofurther boost your FPSin towns and while in combat in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLSS3 Enabler 01DLSSG-to-FSR3(Required for RTX 30 and 20 Series GPUs)
If you read our Best Mods article, then you’ve likely come across theDLSS3 Enabler mod, which is only available for theRTX 4000 series GPUs. The problem with the mod is not everyone has an RTX 4000 series on their PC. To make the mod work forRTX 30 and 20 Series GPU, you’ll need another mod,DLSSG-to-FSR3. Here’s how you do it.
Applying this mod made my FPS jump from20-30 to 50-60 FPSin Vermund, Vernworth city. While out in the wild and during combat, I get a stable70-80 FPSfrom 30-40 FPS (without the mod)on my RTX 2060, which is a huge leap from what I was getting before.
The problem with this mod is theUI ghosting, which is a stark contrast to the Lossless Scaling method. However, the biggest advantage of this method over Lossless Scaling is itsmuch better FPS increase. From my experience, I got used to the UI ghosting better than the character ghosting in Lossless Scaling.
