First of all, you should expect the letters on the screen to be too small at the start. You need to adjust this by increasing the in-game HUD scale. Next, try to balance things out with FPS and graphics performance. If you are a fan of a highly detailed environment then drop the FPS rate, and if you want high FPS, reduce some of the graphics details. Otherwise, you will experience heavy stuttering.
