Recommended Insurgency: Sandstorm settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeFullscreen avoids the FPS ceiling that windowed modes impose at the desktop refresh rate, matching the explicit competitive recommendation to run Fullscreen. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionTwo guides targeting visibility and framerate both explicitly turn ambient occlusion off, since its extra contact shadows can darken player silhouettes. | Off | Off | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityMultiple guides converge on TAA as the sweet spot that smooths edges without a heavy performance or clarity cost, matching the High tier. | High | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleNo guide recommends dropping internal resolution for performance in this title; the only resolution-scale advice found pushes above 100 for supersampling clarity on high-end rigs, which falls outside a safe baseline, so native 100 is kept. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityGuides note texture quality is mostly a VRAM cost rather than a framerate cost on modern cards, so it can stay High even in a performance profile. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityEffects quality drives particle FX and tessellation load on CPU and GPU; trimming it to Medium cuts smoke/explosion clutter that obscures enemies while easing frame cost. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Frame rate limitCompetitive setups prioritize maximum throughput; guides only note that capping helps consistency, not that a specific cap is required, so uncapped is kept for max FPS. | Uncapped | 144 FPS | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityTwo independent competitive guides both instruct dropping shadow quality to Low specifically to improve visibility and framerate. | Low | Medium | High |
| VSyncVsync is described as trading a lower framerate for smoother frame times, an unwanted tradeoff for competitive input responsiveness, so it stays off. | Off | Off | On |
| Foliage qualityTwo competitive guides both drop foliage to Low specifically so bushes and trees don't hide enemies or cost frames. | Low | Medium | High |
| Motion blurGuides explicitly recommend disabling motion blur to keep a sharper image during movement and spot enemies more easily. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityPost-process quality governs depth of field, lens flares, and tone mapping, effects that reduce clarity in firefights, so it is dropped to Low for a flat, readable image. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualityInsurgency's long sightlines reward spotting distant enemies, and the general settings guide recommends high to very high view distance rather than trimming it. | Epic | 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.
