Killing Floor 3 is an incredibly demanding game to run, even with modern hardware such as RTX 50 Series GPUs; gamers complain of performance issues. Thankfully, with these settings, you can easily fix that. They have been cleverly tuned to boost FPS and maintain as much visual fidelity as justified. The reason is that this game is very similar to the Doom series, where fast-paced combat is the bread and butter. Going fully ballistic on visuals will result in poor performance. That said, below are the mentioned settings.

Note: No matter whether you play Solo or in Multiplayer, the game is incredibly CPU-intensive, like most UE5 games are. If you notice CPU bottlenecks, turn on Frame Generation. Otherwise, we turn it off, as this guide aims for the lowest latency possible.

If you own any of the GPUs mentioned here, such as RTX 5050, RTX 5060, RTX 5060 Ti, these settings are a great starting point. For upscaling, you’ll need to use DLSS Swapper with the latest iteration of the transformer model. This way, it will give 8 GB GPU users at least some relief, as they can cut down VRAM usage by at least 10%.

With the likes of RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, you can crank everything to the max and still expect 60+ FPS, but that’s not everything. For that high FPS requirement, without FG, you need to use these particular settings. As for textures, you can set that to Ultra; that’s totally up to you.
