Best Styx Blades of Greed graphics settings for no lag and max FPS

Styx Blades of Greed is now out on advanced access, with the full launch happening soon, and there are a fair number of settings you should tweak before beginning your adventures.

The performances in the early hours haven’t been poor by a stretch of imagination. However, I encountered occasional stutters and frame drops. Thankfully, you can avoid those issues by slightly changing the in-game settings.

Before I deep dive into the settings that I am using in Styx Blades of Greed, here’s my current setup.

• AMD Ryzen 5600G
• 15 GB of DDR5 RAM
• NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB

Here are the current graphics settings that I am using in the early access.

• Global: Custom
• Screen Mode: Borderless
• Resolution: 1920×1080 (will depend on your own setup)
• View Distance: Medium
• Anti-Aliasing: High
• Post processing: Low
• Global Illumination: Low
• Reflection: Medium
• Textures: Medium
• Effects: Medium
• Foliage: Low
• Vertical Sync: Off
• Upscale Method: DLSS-SR
• Upscale Mode: Performance
• Sharpness: 0
• Frame Generation: Off

If you’re still encountering stutters or frame drops, I recommend reducing everything to Low, as that will reduce stress on your hardware.

• I have disabled Vertical Sync since it raises hardware consumption. Personally, I have never found many returns from the feature.
• An Upscale Method should always be enabled. You can switch to FSR if you own an AMD-made card. The mode should always focus on Performance, or at best, Balanced. This will further improve how Styx Blades of Greed will generally run on your system.

This should get the job done and help the game run smoothly on your setup. With the full launch coming in a couple of days, expect to find post-launch patches soon. Some of these patches should ease performance issues if you encounter them.

Fantasy FC Team 1 is coming soon to FC 26, and you can expect some fantastic cards in Ultimate Team.

So far, EA Sports has been tight-lipped about what’s coming after Knockout Royalty. It appears that the ongoing promo will be a one-team affair, and Fantasty FC (or FC Fantasy) is all set to be the replacement. Let’s look at all the information that has already crept onto social media ahead of the official launch.

All FC 26 Fantasy FC Team 1 players

A few names have already popped up on social media who are expected to be part of the first team.

• Rafael Leao
• Salma Paralluelo
• Endrick
• Bruno Fernandes
• Antoine Semenyo

While the names are few as of writing, more leaks will appear closer to the release date. Fantasy FC will feature dynamic cards eligible for upgrades. The upgrades will be based on certain stipulations that will likely depend on real-life football. If you have played Ultimate Team in the last few years, you’ll have a fair idea about what to expect.

Fantasy FC will once again feature special cards for Heroes and Icons, along with cards of active footballers. A few of them have been leaked on social media.

• Stam
• Yaya Toure
• Antonio Di Natale
• Al Owairan
• Brolin

The countdown is based on the following times.

• 10am PT

• 6pm UTC
• 7pm CET

This is the usual schedule EA Sports follows with promo launches. While most of the cards will be available in packs, we should get new SBCs and objectives to complete. These will be alternate options to get the promo cards without relying on pack luck. We will know which cards eventually make it to the first week of the new promo on Friday.
