With appropriate settings, most players should be able to achieve playable framerates (such as 30fps) even on older hardware. Make sure to read through the {{ll|Troubleshooting_Guide#Game_Runs_Slow|Game Runs Slow Guide}}.  
With appropriate settings, most players should be able to achieve playable framerates (such as 30fps) even on older hardware. Modern gaming machines should have over 72fps with all settings maximised.

First, make sure to read through the {{ll|Troubleshooting_Guide#Game_Runs_Slow|Game Runs Slow Guide}}.
If you have only integrated graphics (e.g. Intel Core with Iris), use graphics settings Medium or Low, or even lower.  
 
In general, experiment with different Graphics settings until you have the right balance, for you, between image quality and smooth fast framerates. <!--T:42-->  
 
If you have only integrated graphics (e.g. Intel Core with Iris), use graphics settings '''Medium''' or '''Low''', or even lower.
 
For mid-range graphics cards,  we suggest use Low quality or Medium quality shadows, and keep SSAO off or on a low setting.
 
If you have a high-resolution monitor (1440p, 3k, 4k, UHD) try setting in-game Resolution to 75% or even 50%, that makes a big difference to framerates, with only a small difference in sharpness, some people even prefer not to have razor-sharp lines.
 
If you have a high-powered graphics card and the game still stutters sometimes, try increasing the Chunk Upload Rate Limiter, a mid-range setting like 3 or 4 seems to be best for most people but the optimum is different on every setup.
 
Try also adjusting Max FPS and VSync settings, it's best to check performance with Max FPS set to Unlimited and VSync off.
