Here's how you can make Atomic Heart look even smoother

During our play through, we noticed stuttering again and again, despite having one. Many other players have this problem as well. This is caused by high frame rates, which are pretty damn unstable. We will now show you how you can make Atomic Heart smoother despite poor FPS.

1. You need to download (via msi.com) MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner (both come together)
2. Now install and start both programs.
3. In MSI Afterburner, go to the settings and then to “monitoring”.
4. Scroll down until you reach “Frame Times”, click “Show in OSD” and choose the option to show graph and text.
5. Now fire up Atomic Heart and run around for a little bit, maybe even fight. Keep your FPS and Frame Times in sight!
6. Remember the lowest frames you noticed. Let’s assume your lowest was 72 FPS.
7. Tab out and go into Rivatuner. There you’ll see the option “Frame Limit”.
8. Set the Frame Limit 1 or 2 Frames below your lowest FPS. So in your imaginary case, set it to 71 or 70.

You should have noticed that the graphics, that your frame times displayed to you, are now stable. Unfortunately, Atomic Heart is poorly optimized, and you will still face judder here and there, but believe me, it is much more pleasant.
