Recommended Sons of the Forest settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeeXputer's FPS-focused guide recommends Exclusive Fullscreen over Borderless or Windowed for the lowest overhead. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionEven GameSkinny's most aggressive low-end preset keeps ambient occlusion on Low rather than fully off, so it stays enabled here. | On | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityGuides do not map directly onto a quality tier for this profile; Low keeps AA overhead minimal in line with the max-FPS intent. | Low | Medium | High |
| Resolution scaleNo consulted guide recommends reducing internal resolution scale; DLSS/FSR upscaling is treated as a separate performance tool from this slider, so native scale is kept. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityBoth eXputer and GameSkinny note texture resolution has almost no performance cost in this game, so textures stay High even in the performance profile. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityeXputer's optimal FPS config disables screen-space reflections, bloom, chromatic aberration, film grain and micro shadowing entirely. | Low | Medium | High |
| Frame rate limiteXputer recommends leaving Max FPS uncapped (only matching the monitor refresh rate if tearing appears), so the FPS profile stays uncapped. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityGameSkinny's low-end/performance preset sets Shadow Quality to Low, the single biggest shadow-related FPS lever noted across guides. | Low | Medium | High |
| Simulation distanceNot covered as a distinct setting by any consulted guide; kept conservative and consistent with this profile's other reduced-distance choices. | 12 | 16 | 24 |
| VSynceXputer explicitly disables VSync to cut input latency, a recommendation not contradicted by the other guides. | Off | Off | Off |
| Motion blureXputer disables motion blur in its FPS-boost configuration for clearer movement during fights and exploration. | Off | Off | On |
| Post-process qualityThe same FPS-focused config keeps all post-process effects like film grain and bloom off to minimize GPU overhead. | Low | Medium | High |
| View distance qualityGameSkinny's low-end and high-end presets both settle on Medium draw distance as the best FPS/visibility trade-off. | Medium | High | High |

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.
