Recommended Red Dead Redemption 2 settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeNo RDR2 guide addressed display mode directly; exclusive fullscreen is the standard low-overhead default for a performance profile. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionEven PCGamesN's performance list keeps SSAO enabled at Medium (only disabling the pricier full-resolution SSAO mode), so leaving AO on costs little FPS. | On | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityPCGamesN's optimized performance config sets TAA to Medium while disabling FXAA and MSAA outright. | Medium | High | High |
| Resolution scaleGuides recommend leaving resolution scale off and relying on Vulkan/DLSS-FSR rather than rendering below native. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityMultiple guides agree texture quality is VRAM-bound rather than GPU-bound in RDR2, so even performance-focused configs keep it at Ultra. | Epic | Epic | Epic |
| Effects qualityPCGamesN's performance config holds volumetrics and particle quality at Medium to cut GPU load in busy scenes. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Frame rate limitPerformance guides pair disabled VSync with an uncapped frame rate to extract the maximum FPS the rig can produce. | Uncapped | 60 FPS | 120 FPS |
| Shadow qualityPCGamesN's performance-tuned settings drop shadow quality to Medium (with far shadows at Low) to reclaim frame time. | Medium | High | Epic |
| VSyncBoth the PCGamesN performance analysis and pcoptimizedsettings guide explicitly recommend disabling VSync for lower latency. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualityTargetFPS identifies grass quality as the single highest-impact setting (15-25% GPU frame-time recovery going Ultra to Medium), and PCGamesN's performance list drops it to Lowest. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Motion blurPCGamesN's performance configuration disables motion blur entirely to keep gameplay motion clear. | Off | Off | On |
| Post-process qualityNo guide names a unified post-process tier for RDR2; keeping it low mirrors the general advice to strip heavy post effects first when chasing FPS. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualityPCGamesN's performance config sets Geometry and Grass level-of-detail to Lowest to recover frame time in open areas. | Low | Medium | 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.
