Recommended Assassin's Creed Shadows settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeNo guide addressed display mode directly; exclusive fullscreen is the standard low-overhead choice for a performance-first PC baseline. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionHone.gg identifies dropping ray-traced global illumination to its lowest tier (Hideout Only) as the single biggest FPS lever in the game, worth 20-30 FPS. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityNo guide isolates a dedicated anti-aliasing quality setting since DLSS/FSR upscaling is used as the primary anti-aliasing and clarity solution; Medium is a conservative placeholder. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleGuides treat upscaling as mandatory rather than optional, recommending DLSS/FSR Performance-tier or dynamic resolution as low as 38-50% to hit stable FPS, so the baseline renders below native. | 75 | 90 | 100 |
| Texture qualityGame Rant, Hone.gg, and PC Guide all converge on Medium texture streaming as the safe tier for common 8GB VRAM cards, avoiding stutter without an unnecessary VRAM ceiling raise. | Medium | Medium | High |
| Effects qualityScreen Rant's default recommendation and PC Guide's 4K performance config both set post/particle effects to Low to trim overhead and visual clutter. | Low | High | Epic |
| Frame rate limitPC Guide, Screen Rant, and Game Rant all explicitly recommend leaving the frame rate limiter off/disabled unless you see screen tearing. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityGame Rant calls Medium shadows the sweet spot on a taxing setting, and PC Guide's 4K/60fps config also uses Medium, so Medium is the grounded performance pick over Low. | Medium | High | Epic |
| VSyncThe same three guides recommend VSync off by default for this title, only enabling it if tearing appears. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityNo guide flags scatter density/foliage as a major FPS drain, so Medium is an editorial trim for a max-FPS profile rather than a guide-sourced value. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Motion blurScreen Rant and Game Rant both explicitly disable motion blur, and Hone.gg notes it is commonly disabled for clarity. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityPost effects are grouped with the same Low recommendation as effects quality in the performance-focused configs from Screen Rant and PC Guide's 4K preset. | Low | High | Epic |
| View distance qualityPC Guide, Screen Rant, and Game Rant all keep drawing/loading distance at High since it costs little FPS; Hone.gg lists it as an optional lever only for extreme minimum-spec tuning. | High | High | High |

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.
