Recommended Fortnite settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeExclusive fullscreen at native resolution avoids desktop-compositor overhead and minimizes input latency, consistent with the performance-first framing of every guide. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionSwitchblade Gaming notes that dropping post-processing to Low removes ambient occlusion/SSAO along with bloom and lens flare, with no competitive value lost. | Off | Off | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityBoth guides set anti-aliasing to Off, noting it adds GPU overhead with no competitive benefit once Performance Mode is enabled. | Low | Low | Medium |
| Resolution scaleGuides recommend native 3D resolution and only dropping it in small steps as a last resort on weak hardware, not as a broadly beneficial baseline change. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityThe dedicated competitive presets (Digital Trends, Switchblade Gaming) set textures Low to keep VRAM headroom for frame rate, even though texture quality itself has little direct FPS cost. | Low | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityUnanimous: explosions, particles, and impact effects are set to Low across all four guides to reduce clutter and FPS drops during gunfights. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limitBoth sources explicitly favor an uncapped frame rate (or matching monitor refresh) over any lower cap because it reduces input latency, which matters more than raw peak FPS in fights. | Uncapped | Uncapped | 144 FPS |
| Shadow qualityUnanimous across all four guides: shadows are the single largest FPS cost in Fortnite and create visual clutter around boxes and build fights, so they are set to Off. | Low | Low | High |
| VSyncAll three sources agree VSync adds input latency for no competitive benefit and should stay off. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityNo source scores foliage directly, but it follows the same low-clutter logic guides apply to effects and post-processing, reducing bushes/grass that can obscure enemies. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Motion blurExplicitly recommended off by both guides that address it, as it reduces visual clarity with no gameplay upside. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityUnanimous: Low post-processing removes bloom, lens flare, and screen-space effects that guides say have no competitive value and only hurt visibility. | Low | Medium | High |
| View distance qualityGuides converge on Medium (or the Near-to-Medium range) as the point where opponents stay clearly visible without paying the geometry-load cost of Far or Epic. | 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.
