There are lots of new features and improvements to be excited about for the latest instalment of the Street Fighter series from Capcom.

Naturally, the RPG-style World Tour mode has garnered a lot of interest and makes figuring out the best settings more important than ever.

Should you turn on shader compilation?

Shader compilation is an absolute must if you want to minimise the chances of stuttering, though it’s not a default setting on SF6. By turning on shader compilation, you can expect your frame rates to be silky smooth.

You can turn on shader compilations by going Options > Game > Other Settings > Shader warming on startup. It can take a while, and you’ll have to repeat the process if you end up updating your graphics card drivers. Still worth it though!

Should you use Performance mode or Action mode in Street Fighter 6 for PS5

If you want to make sure you get the highest possible frame rates in all game modes, we recommend choosing Performance mode over Action mode. You can do this by going to the Multi Menu, then Options > Graphics > Basic Graphic Settings. This is because the default settings in World Tour is at 30 FPS which is slightly slower compared to the rest of the game at 60 FPS. Don’t forget to save the settings before loading the World Tour mode.

Should you use Input Delay Reduction in Street Fighter 6?

Input Delay Reduction is a super important setting in Street Fighter 6 that will determine your gaming experience. It’s basically a feature to enjoy a faster click-to-response time, though its will impact your framerates. If you’re already playing at low framerates, we don’t recommend turning it on.

Input Delay Reduction is one of the most crucial settings in Street Fighter 6. Depending on whether you use it, your experience will vary. The feature will help gamers enjoy faster click-to-response times. But we don’t recommend turning it on if the game is running at low framerates.

If you’re gaming on PS5 which is at 120 FPS, then definitely turn on Input Delay Reduction. It’s the same story if you have a high refresh rate monitor. However, if you’re playing on a 60Hz TV or PS4, which plays SF6 at around 40FPS, then we recommend turning off Input Delay Reduction.
