Cultivation Tales FPS Optimization Guide for Low-End PC & Laptop
Original source date
Answer
Ppen up Cultivation Tales and navigate to your in-game settings. In the Video section, set your graphics preset to Low or Medium. These settings will heavily depend on your available resources, and we will optimize them for low-end PCs. Below, set the Display Mode to Fullscreen. The Resolution option should be your native monitor resolution if you’re playing in fullscreen mode. You must reduce the Resolution Scale by a bit if you experience lag or overall low system performance while in-game. This will improve your performance, but the visual quality will suffer greatly. Limit your FPS to 90, which is the highest limit at the moment. The Dynamic Display of Character and Weapons option can induce lag when enabled. Disable this option for now, and if you have some performance to spare after applying the subsequent tweaks, then feel free to enable it and see if it’s worth it on your system. Enable the Player Scene Interaction and Volume Cloud options below. The Night Brightness option will have little to no impact on your performance, and I like the default option. Below, you will want to reduce the Quality settings if your graphics card is bottlenecking your performance. Especially the Texture and Shadow Quality settings should be set to Low or Medium. I prefer to disable Motion Blur, set Sharpen to Low and Anti Aliasing, and disable V-Sync. Don’t forget to apply your changes.

To reduce lag in the future, you can prevent programs from starting up on system boot in the Startup apps section of your task manager. As you can see, most of these apps are disabled for me to prevent the overall load on my system. You can then proceed to close the game and your task manager.

Windows OS Update
Keep your Settings window open and search for Update to get to your Windows Update settings. Make sure to check for recent updates, and if there is an update available to you, download it before restarting your PC, which will install the update for you.
Update Graphics Driver
The next step will be shown for NVIDIA GPU users, but you can apply the same options and changes using the AMD Radeon Software. I suggest using the GeForce Experience application to update your graphics driver, which should be done from time to time. In the Drivers tab, click on Download, which will automatically download and install the latest driver. Repeat this step every few months to ensure you get the most out of your hardware.
Enable NVIDIA Image Scaling
The last significant step in this application is hidden in your settings. Access your GeForce Experience settings, and in the General section, scroll down to enable NVIDIA Image Scaling. NVIDIA Image Scaling can help run the game at a higher resolution. This will allow you to decrease your in-game resolution and get a great visual experience. Play around with your resolution settings and play a bot game to see how much this improves your in-game performance.
NVIDIA Control Panel Options
Right-click your desktop to access your NVIDIA Control Panel. On Windows 11, right-click your desktop, select Show More Options, and then you can click on NVIDIA Control Panel.

It will take a second to apply your changes, next launch Cultivation Tales on your PC, and enjoy a higher frame rate and better overall gaming experience.
