Status: Ninja Gaiden 4 supports ultrawide natively!

IF NOT WORKING:

  • Make sure "Display Mode" is set to Fullscreen or Borderless Windowed
  • Disable any aspect ratio settings in GPU control panel
  • Set in-game resolution to your monitor's native resolution

Supported Resolutions: 2560×1080, 3440×1440, 3840×1600, 5120×2160

🖼️ Low Graphics Quality / Blurry Image

CHECK THESE SETTINGS:

  • Resolution Scale: Should be 100% (not 50% or 75%)
  • TAA/DLSS/FSR: Try different anti-aliasing options
  • Texture Quality: Set to High or Ultra
  • Motion Blur: Disable if image looks smeared

NINJA GAIDEN 4 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

⚡ Ninja Gaiden 4 Low FPS / Stuttering

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY PRIORITY:

Setting Performance Impact Recommendation
Ray Tracing Very High Disable (15-30% FPS gain)
Shadow Quality High Medium (10-15% FPS gain)
Volumetric Fog High Low or Off (5-10% FPS gain)
Reflections Medium Medium (5% FPS gain)
Texture Quality Low (VRAM) High (minimal FPS impact)
Effects Quality Medium High (minor impact)

ADDITIONAL OPTIMIZATIONS:

  • Enable DLSS/FSR: Quality mode gives best balance (20-40% FPS boost)
  • Frame Generation (DLSS 3): RTX 40-series only, huge FPS boost
  • V-Sync: Disable for lower input lag (enable if screen tearing occurs)
  • Cap FPS: Set to monitor refresh rate + 3 (e.g., 60Hz = 63 FPS cap)

⚡ Shader Compilation Stuttering

Issue: Brief freezes/stutters when encountering new effects

SOLUTION:

  • This is normal on first playthrough as game compiles shaders
  • Stuttering will decrease after playing for 30-60 minutes
  • Pre-compiled shaders are saved and won't stutter again
  • Workaround: Play through Chapter 1 completely to compile most shaders
