Open Nvidea Control Panel > Display > Adjust dektop color settings > 3. Apply the following enchancements

This does not improve perfomance just makes richer colors and ergonomically pleasing images, does similar stuff like vibrant rendering style.

Digital vibrance: 50-65%
Hue: 0%

For any G-Sync compatible monitor make sure that in Nvidea Control Panel > Set up G-SYNC is set to Enabled!

• General > In-Game Overlay: Off
  
• Shield > Gamestream: Off

This was reported to reduce stutter and input lag.

1. Download & Open Nvidea Profile Inspector 2.1.3.20
2. Select Profiles: Ring of Elysium
3. Search for "2 - Sync and Refresh" > "Frame rate limiter mode"
4. Select "0x00000004 PS_FRAMERATE_LIMITER_2_CONTROL_DELAY_FLIP_BY_FLIPMETERING"
5. You can also try to select: "0x00000010 PS_FRAMERATE_LIMITER_2_CONTROL_ALLOW_ALL_MAXWELL"
6. Hit "Apply Changes", and restart the Game.

Enabling pagefile can solve stuttering issues, I however recommend to disable pagefile if you have 16GB or more RAM.

• Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab> Settings for Performance > Change Virtual Memory
  
• Check "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" to enable it.
  
• Restart Computer

• Run cmd.exe as an Administrator
  
• Command: powercfg –h off

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ring of Elysium and right click Europa_client.exe

• Compatibility > check "override high DPI scaling behavior" and select "Application" from the drop-down menu.
  
• Also disable "Full screen optimization"
  
• Do the same for SLauncher.exe

This is a drastical move and it will have impact on your GUI expereince in Windows, use this as a last resort.

• Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Settings for Performance > Select: Adjust for best performance

Laptop users be warned this will consume much more battery! On Windows 7 set this to Performance Mode.

• Settings >System > Power & sleep > Addtional Power Settings
  
• Under Choose to customize a power plan, expand the option which says “Unhide Additional plans.”
  
• If you do not see Ultimate Performance Mode, then follow the next steps.
  
• Open a cmd.exe as Administrator
  
• In the command prompt, copy the following command, and hit Enter.
  
• powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

You may also try setting it to Normal / Above Normal.

• Task Manager > Processes > Right click Europa_Client.exe > Set Priority to High

• Download CPU core paring manager from http://www.coderbag.com
  
• Choose "ultimate power plan" set everything to 100%

Use it at your own risk! Recommended to backup registry beforehand and create a restore point too.

• Run regedit.exe
  
• Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile" create/edit DWORD with name SystemResponsiveness and value 0
  
• Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games" edit
  
• GPU Priority to 8
  
• Priority to 6
  
• Scheduling Category to High

1. Close unused background programs
2. Clean system using cleanmgr.exe or CCleaner.
3. Update all device drivers (e.g. with Driver Booster 6), especially Nvidea/AMD drivers!To uninstall previous display drivers i recommend using DDU
4. Disable Hardware acceleration where it's possible (Chrome, Discord, Steam ...etc)
5. Don't play on Wi-Fi, play over cable
6. Run game on SSD
7. Re-Install game once in a while

If still not satisfied with the result look into CPU/GPU/RAM overclocking possibilities.

I get up-to 200+ FPS, but stable 144FPS if locked via RivaTuner.
