Recommended Hunt: Showdown 1896 settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeExclusive fullscreen gives the lowest input latency for competitive play, matching the off-VSync, low-latency posture every source recommends. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionNo source gave an explicit ambient occlusion recommendation; it is disabled here as a minor GPU-cost cut consistent with the rest of the PvP profile's low-clutter, high-FPS intent. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityCompetitive players in the Steam discussion favor the lightest AA mode (SMAA 1x) over blurrier TAA/DLSS options because heavier anti-aliasing softens distant enemy outlines, and one optimizer source disabled AA entirely for the same reason. | Low | Medium | High |
| Resolution scaleEvery source that addressed resolution recommended running native resolution rather than an internal scale reduction, and upscalers (DLSS/FSR) were explicitly discouraged for competitive clarity. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityTexture quality is repeatedly described as a low-FPS-cost, mostly-VRAM setting, so the clarity guide, benchmark breakdown, and community discussion all keep it High even in performance-focused setups. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityThe clarity guide, community discussion, and PC optimizer all set effects (smoke, explosions) to Low to reduce visual clutter and GPU load in gunfights, outweighing the one benchmark source that kept it High for fidelity. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limitThe clarity/performance guide recommends uncapped or a cap only slightly below refresh rate once other settings are trimmed, so PvP leaves the limit uncapped to extract maximum achievable FPS. | Uncapped | 144 FPS | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityThree of four sources land on Low shadow quality for PvP: it is called the single largest FPS win in the benchmark breakdown and is echoed by the clarity guide, the community discussion, and the PC optimizer. | Low | Medium | High |
| VSyncVSync off for reduced input lag was recommended consistently across the clarity guide and the community discussion thread. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityThe clarity guide's vegetation view-distance recommendation drops to Low for non-high-end setups, and a lighter grass/foliage rendering load is generally favored by competitive players to cut GPU cost. | Low | Medium | High |
| Motion blurMotion blur off is universal across every source consulted, explicitly called out as hurting visibility during movement and gunfights. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityLow post-processing is recommended by the clarity guide and community discussion specifically to cut bloom and visual noise that can hide players. | Low | Medium | High |
| View distance qualityThe clarity guide, community discussion, and PC optimizer converge on Medium view distance as the competitive sweet spot, balancing spotting distant enemies against GPU load. | 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.
