Recommended Starfield settings
Researched August 2026. Copy any config below to grab these values.| Setting | Performance | Balanced | Visual Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display modeExclusive fullscreen minimizes compositor overhead and input latency, a reasonable default when chasing max frames. | Fullscreen | Borderless fullscreen | Borderless fullscreen |
| Ambient occlusionGTAO only costs a few percent FPS at max quality, and testers recommend keeping it on rather than disabling it since the visual difference is large relative to the low cost. | On | On | On |
| Anti-aliasing qualityStarfield's anti-aliasing is tied to its FSR2/TAA upscaler; Medium keeps shimmer manageable while matching the reduced render scale used for performance. | Medium | High | Epic |
| Resolution scaleMultiple testers found 75% render resolution with FSR2 upscaling the sweet spot for freeing up frames without a major image-quality hit. | 75 | 100 | 100 |
| Texture qualityTexture resolution in Starfield's Creation Engine 2 is primarily a VRAM cost rather than a frame-time cost, so it can stay High even while chasing FPS if VRAM allows. | High | High | Epic |
| Effects qualityParticle and effects quality showed no detectable FPS impact in benchmark testing, so it is kept High even in the performance profile. | High | High | Epic |
| Frame rate limitStarfield's physics are decoupled from frame rate, so testers ran uncapped to extract maximum FPS rather than recommending a specific cap. | Uncapped | Uncapped | Uncapped |
| Shadow qualityShadow Quality is the single highest-impact setting benchmarked; dropping Ultra to Medium recovered roughly 25-30% FPS with minimal visible loss. | Medium | High | Epic |
| VSyncDisabling VSync avoids extra render-ahead latency for a performance-first profile; forcing it on was only flagged as necessary in the visual-quality case. | Off | Off | On |
| Foliage qualityGrass and foliage quality showed under 7% performance cost even at High, so guides recommend keeping it High rather than sacrificing world density. | High | High | Epic |
| Motion blurDisabling motion blur is a free FPS gain and improves target clarity, recommended across the guides consulted. | Off | Off | Off |
| Post-process qualityGeneral post-processing is trimmed alongside disabling motion blur and film grain for a small additional performance margin. | Medium | High | Epic |
| View distance qualityNo benchmark isolated view-distance cost directly, so a moderate Medium setting is used as a conservative performance-leaning default. | 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.
