Recommended Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered settings

Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.
SettingPerformanceBalancedVisual Quality
Display modeA mid-end PC optimization guide explicitly recommends Exclusive Fullscreen for the lowest input latency and most stable frame pacing.FullscreenFullscreenFullscreen
Ambient occlusionEvery source that mentions ambient occlusion (SSAO) describes it as a trivial performance cost, and it stays enabled across every hardware tier in the guides reviewed.OnOnOn
Anti-aliasing qualityGuidance notes SMAA/TAA-style anti-aliasing costs almost nothing in this game while meaningfully cleaning up Aloy's foliage-heavy world, so it is kept at Medium rather than disabled even on the performance profile.MediumHighEpic
Resolution scaleTwo guides independently keep resolution scale at native 100%, instead routing performance gains through the separate DLSS/FSR upscaler mode rather than the render-scale slider.100100100
Texture qualityA performance guide measured identical frame rates between Medium and Ultra textures, so High is kept for free visual clarity without any real FPS cost.HighEpicEpic
Effects qualityScreen-space reflections, the closest analog to this game's effects slider, are explicitly recommended disabled on low-end/performance-tier setups.LowHighEpic
Frame rate limitA performance guide advises against using the in-game FPS limiter at all, saying it stops hardware from pushing above and beyond its ceiling.Uncapped60 FPSUncapped
Shadow qualityResearch only confirms Medium as a safe mid-end floor, but shadows are one of the costliest Decima-engine sliders, so Low is used here to maximize headroom on the pure-performance profile.LowMediumEpic
VSyncBoth a benchmark-driven guide (Off for high-end/performance builds) and a general settings guide (Off for most players) agree VSync should be disabled when chasing frame rate.OffOnOff
Foliage qualityNo source targets a performance-tier foliage value directly, so density is trimmed one step below the mid-end recommendation to thin vegetation clutter and help spot machines in tall grass.MediumEpicEpic
Motion blurA performance guide and a separate optimized-settings community thread both call for motion blur off outright.OffOffOff
Post-process qualityNo guide breaks out a dedicated post-process tier, so it is dropped to Low alongside other screen-space effects to keep the image crisp and unwashed for spotting machines.LowMediumEpic
View distance qualityA benchmark guide measured only an 8% frame rate cost even at the highest level-of-detail setting, so High is kept here rather than cutting view distance aggressively.HighEpicEpic

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.
