The Outer Worlds 2 is a beautiful game. It is built on Unreal Engine 5 and is an excellent open-world title. In terms of performance, the game has serious issues. First, the game is incredibly CPU-bound. The remaining problems are image-oriented. There is significant shimmering, motion instability, temporal instability, object smearing, and several other issues.

The settings below resolve these issues and will help you enjoy the game.

We recommend playing the game at 900p (1600 x 900) with these settings with the RTX 3050 (6GB) and (8GB). With RTX 3060 or up, you can play at 1080p. RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti users can enjoy 1440p resolution.

If you are CPU-bound with these settings, switch to TAA for upscaling and use FSR Frame Generation to mitigate CPU limitations. Since RTX 30 Series cards do not support DLSS FG, we are opting for FSR FG.
