Recommended Alan Wake 2 settings

Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.
SettingPerformanceBalancedVisual Quality
Display modeExclusive fullscreen gives the lowest input latency and most stable frame pacing for a performance setup; none of the guides reviewed cover display mode directly.FullscreenFullscreenFullscreen
Ambient occlusionBenchmark testing kept ambient occlusion On across high-end, mid-range, and low-end presets alike, indicating it is not a meaningful FPS cost even on weaker hardware.OnOnOn
Anti-aliasing qualityGuides focus on DLSS/FSR upscaler choice rather than a dedicated AA slider, so Medium is kept as a sensible floor to avoid shimmering in this fog-heavy game rather than treating AA as a major FPS lever.MediumHighEpic
Resolution scaleNo guide states an exact resolution-scale percentage, but benchmarks call this one of the most GPU-demanding PC games (an RTX 4090 struggles to hold 4K/60 even maxed), so the performance profile assumes a reduced internal render scale rather than native.7085100
Texture qualityTexture resolution shows negligible FPS impact in benchmarks, and guides keep it at High even on lower-end presets, only dropping to Medium when VRAM is under 8GB.HighEpicEpic
Effects qualityScreen-space reflections cost up to 20% FPS when enabled and are recommended Low or Off on performance-oriented presets.LowMediumHigh
Frame rate limitThe performance-focused guide targets 60+ FPS uncapped with VSync off rather than a hard cap, matching the goal of maximizing throughput.Uncapped144 FPS60 FPS
Shadow qualityThree guides independently flag shadow resolution as one of the single biggest FPS levers, with Low measured about 15.5% faster than the highest setting and worth a direct 5-8 FPS gain.LowMediumHigh
VSyncGuides explicitly recommend VSync off unless screen tearing is a problem when chasing frame rate.OffOnOn
Foliage qualityNo guide names a dedicated foliage slider, so this follows the same aggressive-performance lean applied to other environmental detail settings for this GPU-heavy title.LowMediumHigh
Motion blurEvery guide that addresses motion blur recommends turning it off outright or calls it a pure taste setting with no visual upside.OffOffOff
Post-process qualityDropping post-processing to Low when running an upscaler is called out as a direct 10-15 FPS gain, with High reserved for native-resolution play.LowMediumHigh
View distance qualityDropping terrain/object detail below Medium is called out as producing visible geometry pop-in in the game's woodland areas, so Medium is kept as the performance floor.MediumHighHigh

Frequently asked questions

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.
