Silent Hill F, much like last year’s Silent Hill 2 Remake, is built using Unreal Engine 5. For many PC players, that might immediately raise alarm bells, considering UE5’s notorious performance issues on PC. However, surprisingly enough, Silent Hill F is a rather well-optimized port. The game scales incredibly well across all current-gen GPUs, with very little graphical compromise. That said, the game isn’t without its faults, particularly when it comes to CPU usage and traversal hitches.

Thankfully, most of the performance-related issues in Silent Hill F can be easily fixed by tweaking the graphics settings. Here’s a comprehensive guide on Silent Hill F’s PC optimization, including the best settings to use.
