Recommended Path of Exile 2 settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeA dedicated max-FPS guide recommends exclusive Fullscreen over Borderless/Windowed, avoiding the extra latency and FPS cost of windowed modes. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Borderless fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionSwitching Lighting from Shadows+Global Illumination to Shadows-only is called out as the single biggest FPS setting in the game, with benchmarks showing roughly a 25-32% framerate gain, so GI/AO is disabled for the performance profile. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityThe performance-oriented preset in a tiered hardware guide uses TAA Low, trading minor edge smoothing for FPS headroom during dense fights. | Low | Medium | High |
| Resolution scaleGuides consistently recommend rendering at native resolution and leaning on DLSS/FSR upscaling rather than lowering the internal render scale. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityMultiple guides agree Texture Quality can stay High even on performance builds, since PoE2 loads a fixed, contained texture set per zone rather than streaming continuously like an open-world game. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityA tiered settings guide singles out Particle Quality as the single most important setting to lower first, since endgame screen-clearing generates hundreds of simultaneous effects that crater FPS. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Frame rate limitA tiered hardware guide leaves the high-performance preset uncapped so the GPU can push through PoE2's endgame particle spikes instead of throttling below available headroom. | Uncapped | 60 FPS | 165 FPS |
| Shadow qualityA tiered guide's budget/performance preset drops Shadow Quality to Low, and shadow rendering is repeatedly flagged as one of the highest FPS-impact settings, especially indoors. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| VSyncBoth a dedicated FPS guide and a benchmark-driven optimization guide recommend VSync off to avoid its added input lag and FPS cost. | Off | Off | On |
| Foliage qualityNo guide gives an explicit low-end value for environment/foliage detail; lowering it here follows the general performance-profile pattern of trimming non-essential scene clutter around targets. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Motion blurNo PoE2 guide specifically addresses motion blur, but disabling it follows standard practice for an isometric ARPG where crisp readability of incoming attacks matters more than blur smoothing. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityPerformance-oriented guidance reduces bloom and water detail rather than running full post-processing, trimming visual noise around enemies and effects. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualityEven the performance-focused preset of a hardware-scaled guide keeps View Distance at High, suggesting it is comparatively cheap in PoE2's contained maps. | High | 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.
