Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.
SettingPerformanceBalancedVisual Quality
Display modeExclusive Fullscreen is the explicit recommendation for the lowest input latency and most stable frame pacing.FullscreenFullscreenFullscreen
Ambient occlusionEvery guide reviewed keeps ambient occlusion enabled at its cheapest SSAO tier rather than disabling it outright, even in max-fps configurations.OnOnOn
Anti-aliasing qualityGuides favor TAA over the heavier DLAA mode when frame rate is the priority; mapped to a middle tier since the game exposes upscaler choice rather than a graded AA slider.MediumHighEpic
Resolution scaleEvery guide reviewed turns Dynamic Resolution Scaling off and runs native resolution, relying on preset tuning instead of an internal render scale cut.100100100
Texture qualityThree of four guides, including two built for max-fps or high-fps play, keep Texture Quality High because it is VRAM-bound rather than frame-time-bound in this engine.HighHighEpic
Effects qualityOptimized configs turn off decorative effects like bloom, lens flare, and radial blur, only keeping functional Screen Space Reflections higher, netting a low aggregate effects tier.LowMediumHigh
Frame rate limitPerformance-focused guides pair an uncapped limiter with VSync off to chase the highest achievable frame rate rather than a fixed cap.Uncapped144 FPSUncapped
Shadow qualityExPuter's dedicated optimized-settings pass drops Shadow Quality to Low, calling shadows one of the most GPU-taxing sliders in the game.LowMediumEpic
VSyncProGameGuides and ExPuter both explicitly disable VSync in their high-fps and optimized configurations to cut input lag.OffOffOn
Foliage qualityNo guide names a distinct foliage slider directly; set Low here in line with the same Medium-or-lower Level of Detail and terrain settings the guides do report for performance configs.LowMediumHigh
Motion blurPCGamesN, ProGameGuides, and ExPuter all set Motion Blur Strength to 0/off for a cleaner, less sluggish-feeling image at high frame rates.OffOffOff
Post-process qualityAll four guides disable vignette, chromatic aberration, and radial blur for a cleaner, more responsive-feeling image while chasing frame rate.LowMediumHigh
View distance qualityThree of four guides settle on a Medium Level of Detail even in their high-fps or optimized configurations, rather than dropping further.MediumMediumHigh

Frequently asked questions

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.
