Recommended Apex Legends settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeAll consulted guides recommend Full Screen over Borderless/Windowed for lower input latency and consistent performance. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionAmbient occlusion is described as purely cosmetic and costing 10-15% FPS, so guides disable it for competitive play. | Off | Off | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityTop competitive setups turn anti-aliasing off entirely for maximum edge clarity when spotting enemies; Low is the closest available tier to that recommendation. | Low | Medium | High |
| Resolution scaleGuides consistently recommend native resolution (100%) rather than reducing internal render scale. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityTexture streaming budget is not GPU-bound like other settings, so guides advise keeping it High when VRAM allows even on performance-focused configs. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityEffects detail is kept Low to reduce visual clutter from explosions and ability spam during firefights. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limitCompetitive guidance sets fps_max to 0 (uncapped) to maximize frame output, while explicitly warning that fixed caps like 140-160 or 205-230 hit engine tick-rate bugs. | Uncapped | 165 FPS | 60 FPS |
| Shadow qualitySun shadow coverage/detail and dynamic spot shadows are set to Low or disabled across guides to remove distracting dark patches that can hide players. | Low | Medium | High |
| VSyncV-Sync is universally disabled in competitive guides due to added input lag (cited at 10-30ms). | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityNot directly benchmarked in the sources, but Low follows the same clutter-reduction logic guides apply to shadows and effects for cleaner sightlines. | Low | Medium | High |
| Motion blurMotion blur is disabled in every performance/competitive settings guide to keep target tracking crisp during movement. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityVolumetric lighting and similar post-process effects are set to off/low in performance-focused competitive configs. | Low | Medium | High |
| View distance qualityNo guide addressed a dedicated view distance option directly, so Medium is kept as an editorial middle ground between spotting distant players and clutter reduction. | Medium | High | 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.
