Tokyo Xtreme Racer Low FPS? Fix!

Your car in Tokyo Xtreme Racer feels like it is driving through molasses, even when your speedometer says you are going 150 mph. This sluggish feeling happens because the game physics are tied directly to your frame rate, so any dip causes the entire game simulation to slow down.

Why this happens

The game engine links physical movement to your frame rate. When heavy settings like Global Illumination or Ray Tracing cause your GPU to dip below 60 FPS, the game engine literally slows down the simulation to match your lower frame count.

Recommended Settings

To stabilize the game, press Escape, go to Options, and then Graphics Settings. Focus on lowering Global Illumination to Medium and Shadows to High, as these are the primary culprits for frame rate crashes.

Steps

1. 01
   Navigate to the Graphics Settings menu and set Global Illumination to Medium to disable intensive ray tracing that destroys your frame rate.
2. 02
   Set Shadows to High or Medium if you are still struggling to maintain a consistent frame rate.
3. 03
   Change the FPS Limit to 60 to prevent the physics engine from desyncing, or leave it as Unlimited only if you can maintain a perfectly stable frame rate above 60.
4. 04
   Set Upscaling to DLSS Balanced and set Sharpness to 0.3 for a cleaner image without the performance cost of native rendering.
5. 05
   Turn off Frame Generation entirely, as it is currently broken and can cause the simulation to stutter or slow down.
6. 06
   Adjust FOV to 90 to improve your sense of speed, as the default low FOV often makes the game feel significantly slower than it actually is.
7. 07
   If the game begins to stutter or slow down after 10 to 15 minutes of play, restart the application to clear the current memory leak.

Still not working?

If you continue to experience performance drops, perform a clean driver reinstall using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). If the slow-motion persists after these settings, verify that your GPU is not thermal throttling and that you are not running out of VRAM by lowering Textures to High.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the game run fine at first but get slower over time?

This is likely caused by a memory leak in the current build of the game. A quick restart usually clears the cache and restores performance.

Will setting the frame rate to 60 make the game look worse?

No, it is necessary to lock it to 60 because the physics engine is tied to this frame rate. If you allow the FPS to fluctuate wildly, the car's speed and handling will feel inconsistent.

Should I use Frame Generation to get more FPS?

No, you should keep Frame Generation off. It is currently unstable in Tokyo Xtreme Racer and often causes the internal simulation to lag behind.
