by

If you’re playing Cyberpunk 2077 and want to monitor your FPS (frames per second) while using the Vortex Mod Manager, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set it up:

1. Install the Required Mod:

  • Find and Install an FPS Mod: To display FPS within Cyberpunk 2077 using Vortex, you’ll need a mod that supports FPS monitoring. One popular option is “CyberEngineTweaks” (CET), which includes an FPS counter and other performance tools.
  • Download via Vortex: Visit Nexus Mods, search for “CyberEngineTweaks” (or similar), and download it directly through the Vortex Mod Manager by clicking the “Mod Manager Download” button.

2. Install CyberEngineTweaks:

  • Enable the Mod: Once downloaded, go to your Vortex Mod Manager, find the mod under the “Mods” tab, and click “Enable” to activate it.
  • Deploy Mods: After enabling, make sure to click “Deploy Mods” if Vortex prompts you to do so, ensuring all your changes take effect in the game.

3. Configure the FPS Overlay:

  • Launch the Game: Start Cyberpunk 2077 after the mod is installed.
  • Access the CET Menu: Press the hotkey (usually ~ or F1) to bring up the CyberEngineTweaks overlay.
  • Enable FPS Counter: Navigate to the options or settings within the CET overlay. Look for an option to display the FPS counter and enable it.

4. Adjust FPS Counter Settings:

  • Customize Display: CET often allows you to customize where the FPS counter is displayed on your screen, its color, and its size. Adjust these settings to your preference.
  • Save Settings: Make sure to save your settings before closing the overlay.

5. Verify In-Game:

  • Check FPS: With the FPS counter enabled, you should now see your FPS displayed on the screen while playing Cyberpunk 2077. This will allow you to monitor performance in real-time, especially useful when testing how mods affect game performance.

6. Optimize Game Performance:

  • Tweak In-Game Settings: Based on the FPS readings, you can tweak your game’s graphics settings to improve performance. Lowering settings like resolution, shadow quality, and textures can help if your FPS is too low.

7. Monitor and Adjust as Needed:

  • Regularly Check FPS: It’s a good idea to keep an eye on your FPS whenever you install new mods or change game settings. If you notice significant drops, consider disabling certain mods or further adjusting your in-game settings.

8. Use Vortex for Further Mod Management:

  • Manage Your Mods: If certain mods cause performance issues, Vortex makes it easy to disable or remove them without affecting your game installation. Regularly update your mods via Vortex to ensure compatibility and performance.

By following these steps, you can effectively monitor your FPS while playing Cyberpunk 2077 using the Vortex Mod Manager, helping you optimize your gaming experience.
