Recommended Baldur's Gate 3 settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeCharlie INTEL's guide sets display mode to Fullscreen since windowed mode causes measurable performance loss in Baldur's Gate 3. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionCharlie INTEL's high-FPS tips note that disabling ambient occlusion is one of the more effective single changes for extra frame rate with minimal visual cost. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityPCGamesN's optimized-FPS config sets anti-aliasing to None, relying on DLSS instead, for the largest frame-rate gain. | Low | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleNone of the consulted guides recommend rendering below native resolution; they instead point to DLSS/FSR upscaling modes as the preferred performance lever. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityPCGamesN notes texture quality scales with VRAM rather than GPU compute, so keeping it High costs little frame rate on typical hardware while preserving clarity. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityPCOptimizedSettings' low-end tier keeps cloud/fog effects at Low to reduce GPU overhead in busy outdoor and Act 3 street scenes. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limitCharlie INTEL's high-FPS guide disables VSync and does not set a cap, aiming to extract the maximum achievable frame rate on capable hardware. | Uncapped | 60 FPS | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityPCOptimizedSettings' low-end/CPU-bound tier sets Shadow Quality to Low, and shadows are one of the first sliders these guides recommend cutting for extra frame rate. | Low | Medium | High |
| VSyncBoth Charlie INTEL and Dexerto explicitly disable V-Sync in their PC configs to reduce input latency and remove the frame-rate ceiling. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityNot explicitly benchmarked in the consulted guides; lowered here in line with the general tiered-performance approach PCOptimizedSettings applies to other environmental detail settings. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Motion blurNone of the consulted guides address motion blur directly for Baldur's Gate 3; disabling it is standard practice for clarity in a performance profile. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityLowering depth of field, bloom, and god rays trims GPU cost and avoids obscuring enemies with screen-space effects, consistent with the FPS-first framing of Charlie INTEL's guide. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualityPCOptimizedSettings identifies NPC/instance density as the dominant CPU cost, especially in Act 3, so trimming view/instance distance is the highest-leverage change for a performance profile. | Medium | 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.
