Recommended Hogwarts Legacy settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeExclusive fullscreen is the safe default for lowest input latency and best frame pacing; none of the guides consulted specifically benchmarked display mode. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionSmoothFPS keeps ambient occlusion off for budget and mid tiers, and community consensus is that it delivers a performance hit without much visible benefit at this profile's target settings. | Off | Off | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityNo guide benchmarked AA quality in isolation; Medium avoids the shimmering of Low while staying well short of the heavier Epic TAA passes, matching a sensible-AA performance target. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleGuides recommend using DLSS/FSR upscaling rather than dropping the in-game resolution scale slider, so native 100% is kept and upscaling is left as a separate user choice. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityTextures are primarily VRAM-bound rather than GPU-bound in this engine, but the game is described as extremely VRAM-hungry, so Medium avoids streaming stutter on the lower-VRAM cards this profile targets. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Effects qualitySmoothFPS puts Effects Quality at Low for budget builds, and pcoptimizedsettings notes Ultra effects only costs up to 10% so Low is a safe floor for a max-FPS profile. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Frame rate limitOptimization guides pair VSync off with an external RTSS cap rather than the in-game limiter, so the baseline leaves the built-in limiter uncapped to maximize measured FPS. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityThe budget-tier recommendation in the SmoothFPS guide sets Shadow Quality to Low, and shadows are flagged as one of the first settings worth lowering for FPS across guides. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| VSyncThe SmoothFPS tiered guide explicitly recommends VSync off across every hardware tier in favor of an external frame cap, avoiding the input-lag penalty. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityFoliage is called out as costing up to 10% of frame rate outdoors, and the SmoothFPS budget tier sets it to Low to protect FPS in Hogsmeade and the open grounds. | Low | Medium | High |
| Motion blurNo guide recommends enabling motion blur; disabling it is standard practice for a clarity-focused performance profile and costs nothing to turn off. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityPost-processing is called out by pcoptimizedsettings as the single most intensive rasterized setting (up to 15-16% FPS cost at Ultra) and both benchmark guides set it lowest for budget/performance tiers. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualitySmoothFPS places budget/mid-tier view distance at Low-Medium to Medium, balancing the up-to-10% frame cost pcoptimizedsettings flags in open outdoor areas against keeping distant objects readable. | 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.
