Recommended Forza Motorsport / Horizon settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeCharlie INTEL's high-FPS Motorsport config runs exclusive Fullscreen rather than Borderless to cut compositor overhead. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionexputer's Horizon 5 FPS guide keeps SSAO at Ultra even while chasing higher frame rates, indicating it is cheap enough to leave enabled for depth cues on track. | On | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityexputer recommends 2x MSAA plus FXAA for Horizon 5, noting anything above 2x MSAA is an unnecessary FPS cost. | Medium | Medium | High |
| Reflection qualityDexerto keeps Motorsport mirror quality at Medium and exputer gives Horizon 5 reflection quality a Ultra-or-Medium range, so Medium is the safer default for a performance profile. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleDexerto sets resolution scale to 100% and exputer leaves Horizon 5's resolution scaling Off, both favoring upscaling (DLSS/FSR) over rendering below native. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityDexerto keeps Motorsport track textures at High and exputer keeps Horizon 5 environment textures at Ultra even in their FPS-focused configs, since texture quality is mostly VRAM-bound rather than frame-time-bound. | High | High | Epic |
| Vehicle detail qualityDexerto's Motorsport performance list keeps car model quality High and exputer keeps Horizon 5's World Car Level of Detail High, both above the low-end downgrade tier. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityBoth Dexerto's Motorsport performance list and exputer's Horizon 5 FPS guide independently set particle effects to Medium. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Frame rate limitDexerto's Motorsport guide sets frame rate to Unlocked and exputer's Horizon 5 guide sets it to Unlocked (Variable) for maximum competitive FPS. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityPCGamesN's benchmarks flag shadow quality as the single costliest Horizon 5 setting (~15% combined with shaders at Ultra), and Dexerto's low-end Motorsport tuning steps shadows down to Medium to protect frame rate. | Medium | High | Epic |
| VSyncexputer explicitly turns Vertical Synchronization Off in the Horizon 5 performance config to avoid added input latency. | Off | Off | Off |
| Motion blurCharlie INTEL's high-FPS Motorsport config turns Motion Blur Off to keep car and track edges crisp during close racing. | Off | Off | On |
| Post-process qualityexputer's dedicated FPS guide keeps Horizon 5's Lens Effects at High, showing this slider is not a major performance drain worth cutting for a max-FPS config. | High | 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.
