Recommended S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | PvP | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modePC Guide's tested high-end preset uses exclusive Fullscreen rather than Borderless/Windowed for the most consistent frame delivery. | Fullscreen | Fullscreen | Fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionGlobal illumination/ambient occlusion is set to Low in the benchmarked high-FPS preset, so it is disabled here to prioritize frame rate. | Off | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityPCGamesN notes TAA/DLAA-based anti-aliasing meaningfully reduces distracting foliage flicker with almost no performance hit, so Medium is kept rather than dropping to Low, to preserve visibility. | Medium | Medium | Epic |
| Resolution scaleGuides direct performance gains through DLSS/FSR upscaling rather than manually reducing the in-engine resolution scale slider, so native 100% is kept. | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualitygamersandgeek recommends dropping texture quality to Medium if stutters appear in populated areas, which fits a performance-first profile better than the High setting used for balanced play. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityHeavy particle and volumetric effects are called out as one of the first things to lower for FPS with little gameplay-relevant payoff, so Low is used for the performance profile. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| Frame rate limitPC Guide's high-fps preset explicitly runs with 'No Limits' on the frame rate cap, pairing an uncapped rate with upscaling and frame generation. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityGuides list shadows among the first settings to lower for FPS, and PC Guide's dedicated high-FPS preset runs shadow quality at Low. | Low | Medium | High |
| VSyncPC Guide's benchmarked preset disables V-Sync to avoid the added input lag and frame-time overhead it introduces at uncapped frame rates. | Off | Off | Off |
| Foliage qualitygamersandgeek measured up to a 27% FPS swing from foliage quality in dense areas, and lower foliage density also thins out the brush that can hide NPCs, so Low serves both performance and visibility here. | Low | Medium | High |
| Motion blurEvery guide that addresses motion blur sets it to 0%/off, calling it distracting when aiming, so it is disabled outright. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityPost-processing (bloom, vignette, chromatic effects) is flagged as a heavy but low-value cost for performance play, so it is set to Low. | Low | Medium | Epic |
| View distance qualityPC Guide's high-FPS preset drops environment draw distance to Near, but keeping it at Medium preserves the ability to spot distant threats across the Zone's open areas, which the profile prioritizes alongside FPS. | 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.
