Recommended 7 Days to Die settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeExclusive fullscreen is the standard low-latency choice; none of the sources tested display mode specifically for this title. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionBenchmarks measured an 18% FPS drop at 4K with SSAO enabled, which is not worth the subtle depth cueing for a max-performance PvP profile. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityTemporal AA is recommended for clean coverage of foliage and chain-link style transparent textures, kept at a moderate tier so it does not blur distant enemy silhouettes. | Medium | Medium | High |
| Resolution scaleBenchmarks show FSR's ultra-quality upscale preset runs about as slow as native 4K at high settings, so dropping internal resolution below native gave no clear broad benefit. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityTexture quality is mostly a VRAM cost rather than a frame-rate cost, and the Steam thread recommends dropping to Half/Eighth textures for VRAM headroom without meaningfully hurting the ability to see players. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityNo source names a distinct 'effects quality' slider directly, so this is set low by extension of the general PvP guidance to strip non-essential visual clutter that can obscure targets. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limitThe settings guide explicitly lists FPS Limit as Off, and PvP players want the highest achievable frame rate rather than a hard cap. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityBenchmarks show Low shadows hit 89.4 FPS versus 72 FPS at the top tier, and the Steam thread independently confirms low/off shadow settings give the single biggest FPS gain in the game. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Simulation distanceNo source measured this exact setting; a lower value is chosen in line with the thread's general advice to shrink world-streaming/mesh distances for steadier frame times in cities and bases. | 8 | 14 | 24 |
| VSyncDisabling V-Sync avoids the added input latency that competitive players want to minimize, versus the smoother-but-laggier sync used in casual presets. | Off | On | On |
| Motion blurEvery source agrees motion blur has a real performance cost and hurts target tracking, so it is turned off for PvP. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityBloom is described as adding sun glare with no gameplay upside and is recommended off by experienced players, and post-processing effects add GPU cost with little PvP benefit per the benchmark. | Low | Medium | High |
| View distance qualityThe benchmark found view distance has comparatively little performance cost, so it is kept high here specifically to preserve the ability to spot players at range, which matters more for PvP than for pure FPS. | High | Medium | Epic |

What are the best graphics settings for competitive FPS games?
Most competitive players lower shadow quality, effects, and post-processing to maximize frame rate and reduce visual noise, while keeping texture and anti-aliasing settings high enough to spot enemies clearly. The exact values differ per game and per PC - that's why our configs come from real players and show every individual setting, so you can copy a proven setup that matches your hardware.
Is Settings For Games free?
Yes. Browsing, copying, and publishing configs is completely free, and so is the Windows app. No signup is needed to copy settings. If the project helps you, there's an optional donation link.
Will copying a config overwrite my keybinds or sensitivity?
No. The copy & merge dialog keeps your personal settings - keybinds, mouse sensitivity, audio levels, crosshair colors - and only takes the graphics and performance values from the community config. You can also copy the raw config if you want everything.
Is the Windows app safe to use?
The app is a portable EXE that never modifies game files beyond the official settings/config files each game already exposes. It previews every change before writing and creates an automatic backup, so you can restore your previous settings at any time. Unsigned builds can show a Windows SmartScreen prompt until the file builds reputation.
Which games are supported?
The app can automatically apply settings for Rust, ARC Raiders, Valorant, and League of Legends, and can read Counter-Strike 2 settings. On the website you can browse and copy configs for 70+ cataloged games, including Escape from Tarkov, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Warzone, PUBG, Overwatch 2, and Marvel Rivals - and you can suggest any game we're missing.
How do I share my own config?
Either upload your config file on the website (sign in, then "Publish a config"), or use the desktop app: it detects your installed games, reads your current settings, and publishes them to your profile in a couple of clicks. Configs can be public, unlisted, or private.
