Low FPS and stutter in Underground 2 Revived
The project’s ceiling is 120 fps in coverage from TheGamer, and the display menu can offer 30, 60, 120, or 240. Online and LAN races cap at 120. Phones start at 75% scale with several effects off. There is no official FPS table by GPU. A Reddit comment under the author’s thread says Firefox near 20 and Chrome near 120 on that person’s machine. Issue 22 reports stutter after an update. Use F8 for the in-game counter before you change five settings at once.
Caps
30, 60, 120, 240, or auto. Races on the network stay at 120 or below.

What I checked
I refused to turn the HP 255 G8 video into a number. The upload does not state a frame rate in the description we saved. The only paired comparison I will repeat is the Firefox-versus-Chrome comment, with the author’s thread as the place it appeared. My own reading of the display settings is the part I can stand behind line by line.
Changes the page actually offers
Lower the resolution scale before you drop the cap. On a phone, leave the default until the page promotes you to 100% by itself. The 30 fps option exists for a phone that cannot hold 60. Reflections, motion blur, depth of field, overbright, and bleach bypass are the effects the phone path turns off. On a desktop those toggles live in the game’s own Options, Display.
Issue 22 is the public “worse after an update” report. If stutter started on a specific day, say so on that issue rather than stacking random flags. A reload pulls the current module when the server answers.
Browser choice, as a comment not a lab
One comment on the author’s r/NFSU2 post contrasts Firefox around 20 fps with Chrome around 120. Another mentions Snapdragon free-roam stutter. Neither is a controlled test. Trying Chrome is a reversible step. Quoting those numbers as the game’s official performance is not.
Questions
Why is Underground 2 Revived stuttering?
Check the frame cap, the resolution scale, and whether you are on a phone profile. Then look at issue 22 if it started after an update.
Can I lock 120 fps?
You can select 120. TheGamer calls 120 a ceiling. The PC still has to produce the frames. Online races will not use a 240 cap.
Does the counter help?
F8 shows it. Change one setting, look again, then keep or revert it.
My laptop video has no FPS in the title.
Then it is not evidence. The HP 255 G8 upload is in that category for this page.
Will a “FPS boost” download help?
Nothing in the project docs asks for one. Do not install it.
