Modder ‘Brawltendo’ has released a new mod that removes the 30fps lock from Need for Speed: Rivals. By using this mod, PC gamers can finally play this NFS game at 60fps, 120fps or 144fps.
This mod for NFS: Rivals allows the game to run smoothly at over 30FPS. The best part is, it doesn’t mess up anything else in the game. So, the way the cars move and everything else stays just the way it should. Unlike some older mods that caused problems with how the game’s physics worked, this one keeps everything in check.
Need for Speed Rivals came out in 2013, was developed by Ghost Games and Criterion Games, and was powered by the Frostbite Engine. And, I’ll be honest here. One of the reasons I didn’t play it back then was due to its 30fps lock. So, after ten years, we finally got a mod that unlocked its framerate. Better late than never I guess.
If you’re interested, you can download the mod from this link. I also suggest reading this blog post which goes into more technical details about it.
Speaking of framerate unlockers, you can also download similar mods for Elden Ring, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, NieR Replicant Remaster, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Command & Conquer: Generals, Sekiro, and Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
