Best Graphics Settings for Smooth Gameplay

Projeto Grau 2 is a big open world with traffic, lighting effects and detailed bikes, which means it can humble weaker phones. But the game is very tunable, and the right settings turn a stuttery mess into a smooth ride on almost any device from the last few years. This guide gives you presets and explains which sliders actually matter.

Frame Rate First, Everything Else Second

Decide your target before touching anything: a rock-solid 30 FPS or a held 60. For wheelies and precise stunt timing, consistency beats peaks. A phone bouncing between 40 and 60 feels worse than one locked at 30. Set the frame rate cap first, then lower other settings until the game never drops below your target in the busiest area you ride. After installing the Projeto Grau 2 APK from the official site, set your frame rate cap before touching any other setting.

The Big Three: Shadows, Reflections, Draw Distance

These three settings eat the most performance. Shadows are the single heaviest: dropping them from high to medium is often worth 10+ FPS alone, and you will barely notice while riding. Reflections on bike paint and windows are gorgeous in photo mode and invisible at speed. Draw distance controls how far the world renders; the city center needs less than you think because buildings block sightlines anyway. Our night racing guide notes that lower draw distance barely matters after dark.

Preset: Budget Phones

For phones with 4GB RAM or older chips: resolution at 75 percent, shadows off or low, reflections off, draw distance medium, traffic density medium, effects low. Target a locked 30. The game will look clean and play smoothly. Close background apps before launching, and give the phone a minute to cool if you have been charging. Thermal throttling kills more sessions than any setting.

Preset: Mid-Range Phones

For the popular mid-range tier: resolution 85 to 100 percent, shadows medium, reflections low, draw distance high, traffic high, effects medium. This should hold 30 easily and often flirts with 60. If you feel micro-stutters in the city center, drop traffic density one notch before touching anything else. That one slider fixes most urban hitching.

Preset: Flagships

Max everything, target 60, and only tune down if you see drops during police chases with full traffic. Even flagships can stutter when the game loads new districts at speed, so keep an eye on the first minute of fast highway runs. If it happens, draw distance is the culprit, not your GPU.

The Hidden Performance Killers

Two things outside the graphics menu wreck performance. First, a nearly full storage drive: the game streams world data constantly, and a phone with 95 percent full storage stutters no matter the settings. Keep 4GB free. Second, battery saver modes silently cap your CPU. Either disable them for gaming or whitelist the game. Players on our beginner bike guide comments report this fixing "mystery lag" more than any slider.

Test Properly

Do not judge settings from the garage. The real test is a full-speed run through the busiest district with traffic maxed, at night, during a police chase. If it holds your target there, it holds everywhere. Change one setting at a time and retest the same route, or you will never know which change actually helped. Ten minutes of methodical testing beats an hour of random slider dragging.

When to Revisit Settings

Updates can change performance, and so can your phone aging. If the game suddenly stutters after an update, retest before assuming the worst; sometimes a single new effect tanks a previously fine setup. And as a final note, you can always re-download the latest build from our Projeto Grau 2 homepage to make sure you are testing the current version, not an old stuttery one.
