1: How to fix Low FPS

- Step 1: Right Click on the desktop.
- Step 2: Select the Nvidia Control Panel.
- Step 3: Select “Manage 3D Settings”.
- Step 4: Find Sekiro Shadows Die Twice in the list, and make it use your dedicated graphics card.
- Step 5: That’s It.
B: Low FPS: Remove Second Monitor (Display)
While playing Sekiro with two monitors (displays) plugged in, there is a massive drop in the FPS performance; it remains between 20-25 FPS. To fix this, you have to disconnect your second monitor from your PC. Disconnect here means, removing the HDMI/DVI/DP cable and restart the PC.
C: Disable Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0
This software is reported to be one of the reasons behind low FPS performance in Sekiro. If you have it installed on your PC, then disable it. You will find it in the toolbar, disable it and restart your PC.
