Marvel Rivals brings exciting battles between iconic characters. For players with low-end PCs, achieving smooth gameplay can be tough. However, just following a few steps you can optimise performance and enjoy the action without needing expensive upgrades.

This game requires a somewhat recent setup. The minimum requirements on Steam include Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor, 16 GB RAM, and a graphics card like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580. For faster load times, install the game on an SSD if possible.

Step-by-step guide to optimise Marvel Rivals

Lower the resolution to 1080p or even 720p for improved FPS.
Set shadows to Low or Medium to reduce GPU load.
Disabling Motion Blur ensures smoother gameplay.
This balances performance and clarity without overloading your system.
Keep effects at Medium to track enemies better during intense battles.
Reduce this setting for improved performance, but don’t go too low to maintain awareness of opponents.
Features like Ambient Occlusion and Depth of Field can be disabled to save resources.

Target FPS for Marvel Rivals
