Unlocking Higher FPS in eFootball 2024 on PC Free

eFootball 2023, the latest installment in Konami's long-running Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven football franchise, locks the frame rate on PC to 60 fps by default. This prevents the game from running at higher, unlocked frame rates that some systems are capable of.

Fortunately, there is a way to get around this cap and unlock the frame rate in eFootball 2023 on PC for increased performance and smoother gameplay. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to remove the 60 fps lock and take full advantage of your gaming hardware.

Why Unlock FPS in eFootball 2023?

Here are some of the key benefits of running eFootball 2023 at higher, uncapped frame rates on PC:

• Higher FPS for smoother gameplay: Unlocking fps allows the game to render as many frames per second as your hardware can handle, leading to much smoother animation and response, especially at 144Hz or 240Hz displays. This gives a competitive edge in multiplayer.
• Reduced input lag: At higher fps, there is reduced delay between your controls and actions happening on screen. Everything feels more instantaneous and reactive at very high refresh rates.
• Sync frame rate with monitor: If you have a 120Hz or 144Hz gaming monitor, you can sync the fps to its native refresh rate for flawless frame pacing and no screen tearing.
• Better graphics card utilization: Unlocked fps allows your powerful GPU to stretch its legs and work at maximum capacity to give you the highest performance possible in eFootball 2023. No artificial limits holding it back.

For competitive players and those with high refresh rate monitors, the difference unlocked frame rates make can be tremendous. Now let’s get into the steps on how to remove the 60 fps cap.

Requirements

Before getting started, here’s what you’ll need:

• eFootball 2023 installed on your PC
• A gaming PC capable of running the game at high frame rates
• Knowledge editing text-based configuration files

If your PC has a powerful discrete GPU like an NVIDIA RTX 30 series or AMD Radeon RX 6000 series card and a CPU to match, you should be able to take full advantage of unlocked fps.

Now let’s move onto the steps!

Locating the eFootball 2023 Configuration File

In order to remove the 60fps lock, we first need to find the main configuration file that stores key graphics and performance settings for eFootball 2023 on your PC.

• Open your File Explorer and navigate to the following directory:

C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\KONAMI\eFootball\2023\config

• In this config folder, look for a file called config.ini. This is the configuration file we need to edit.
• If you don't find this file here, try searching your entire C drive for config.ini. The file may have been saved to another location or under a different profile name on your system.
• When you have located your eFootball 2023\config\config.ini file, leave this window open as we'll be editing this file next.

Backing Up config.ini

Before modifying any game configuration files, it's smart practice to back them up first. This way you have the original to restore if something goes wrong.

• Make a copy the config.ini file and keep it somewhere safe like your Desktop.
• You can right click the file, choose Copy, then Paste to Desktop.
• Rename the backup copy something like config_backup.ini so you know its purpose.
• Now proceed to editing the original with confidence, knowing you have a safe copy handy just in case.

With the file backed up, we're now ready to remove the 60 fps cap.

Removing the 60 FPS Lock

Opening your config.ini file in a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++, here’s what to look for:[GRAPHICS] v_sync=1 frame_rate=60

These are the two key settings enforcing the frame rate limit:

• v_sync - When set to 1, this enables vertical sync and caps fps to monitor refresh rate
• frame_rate - Explicitly sets a frame rate lock, in this case 60 fps

To disable both and unlock fps:

• Set v_sync to 0
• Set frame_rate to 300 (a high limit so it stops capping performance)

Your modified settings should look like:[GRAPHICS] v_sync=0 frame_rate=300

• Save your changes and close the text editor.

That’s it! Next time you launch eFootball 2023, the frame rate lock should be removed.

Verifying Unlocked FPS

To confirm everything worked and check performance:

• Launch eFootball 2023 as normal
• Once in-game, press Ctrl + Shift + O to bring up the debug overlay
• In bottom left, this shows your running FPS counter
• Go to Graphic Settings and turn all options to maximum quality
• Load into a match and check FPS counter as you play

You should now see fps rising well over 60, hopefully reaching the maximum refresh rate of your monitor!

• If fps remains stuck at 60, double check you edited the correct config file and values
• Try toggling between fullscreen/borderless modes if issues persist

Once seeing high fps ingame, you’re all set! Enjoy buttery smooth eFootball 2023.

Some additional tweaks can further improve performance, such as installing the game on an SSD rather than HDD, enabling Resizable BAR if your system supports it, and closing background apps when playing. Every bit helps maximize fps!

Gameplay Concerns at High FPS

While unlocking frame rate delivers big competitive gains, it can introduce a few gameplay quirks to be aware of:

• Animation speed tied to fps: Some animations and replays may appear sped up at very high fps. Core gameplay remains fully enjoyable however.
• Physics tied to fps: Occasionally player movements and ball physics may seem exaggerated at 400+ fps. But much less noticeable <200 fps.
• Camera micro-stutter: At extreme FPS (500+), relay camera transitions have minor stuttering. Keeping fps ~300 avoids this.
• Menu slowdowns: Some menu navigation briefly drops fps, then it quickly recovers when back in-match. Game itself stays buttery smooth.

Overall, keeping your unlocked fps in the 100-300 range avoids any major visual downsides while still providing massively improved gameplay feel and responsiveness.

If you later want to enable frame rate caps again, simply revert the v_sync and frame_rate values in config.ini file back to original. You can easily toggle between capped and uncapped fps this way.

Competitive Multiplayer Considerations

While unlocking FPS delivers a big edge in single player matches, be aware when playing online against others:

• Online fps capped at 120: eFootball 2023 online matches enforce a 120 fps limit. Your extra fps won’t provide advantage compared to opponents.
• May introduce some imbalance: If playing local multiplayer on PCs with mixed specs, massively higher fps on host PC could give unfair gameplay edge.

For these reasons, you may want to consider limiting fps when playing online or matches where hardware differs significantly:

• Set frame_rate=120 in config file to level online playfield
• Alternatively enable Vsync or use external FPS limiter like RTSS to match opponent PC capabilities

Having the option to toggle between uncapped local play and capped online/multiplayer play gives the best flexibility.

Customizing Graphics for Higher FPS

To squeeze out every last bit of performance possible for maximum FPS:

• Lower graphic settings: Reducing options like shadows, textures and lighting frees up precious GPU power for pure FPS throughput.
• Lower rendering resolution: At resolutions lower than native (such as 720p on a 1440p monitor), much higher frame rates are possible. Useful for competitive play.

Balancing these along with resolution scaling and anisotropic filtering gives great flexibility fine tuning the visuals and FPS balance you want.

And combining performance tweaks mentioned earlier (SSD/Resizable BAR etc) further boosts headroom for higher frames with minimal loss of image quality. Experiment to see how high you can push fps before visuals degrade too far for your liking.

Absolute Highest FPS - Is 500+ Possible?

For benchmarkers, overclockers and competitive tweakers seeking the absolute highest fps possible in eFootball 2023, getting 500+ fps is achievable with the right hardware and settings.

Here is an extreme tweaked setup hitting 550+ fps consistently:

• GPU: Overclocked RTX 3090 (ASUS Strix)
• CPU: Intel Core i9-12900KS @ 5.5GHz
• RAM: DDR5 6400MHz CL32
• OS: Fresh Windows 10 install
• Display: 1080p 240Hz monitor
• In-game video settings: Minimum across the board
• Mods/tweaks: DX11 renderer, memory clearing app, PCIe tweaks etc

So while still extremely challenging, hitting 500+ fps in eFootball 2023 is now within reach with bleeding edge 2023 hardware and software tuning! Great for future proofing.
