When it stutters: the knobs, sorted by effect.

First

  1. Drop the quality preset one step
  2. Check the tracking mode — full body costs considerably more than face only
  3. Shadows off, or shadow quality down

Then

  • 3D render resolution below 100 %
  • Reduce anti-aliasing
  • Lower the particle count, turn off particle collision
  • Turn off the avatar's body collision
  • Turn off the virtual camera when it is not needed

Throttling automatically

GPU throttling lowers the frame rate limit by itself when the graphics card is too busy, see Graphics.

Measuring

The FPS display and the extended scene info (objects, vertices, draw calls) via their shortcuts — one shortcut cycles through both.

TODO: Add reference figures once they have been measured on a current build.
