Quality

• Quality Presents: Custom
• Render Resolution: 100
• Dynamic Resolution: Off
• Upscaling/Sharpening: FidelityFX CAS
  • AMD Fidelity CAS Strength: 85

Details and Textures

• Persistent Effects: On
• Shader Quality: High
• On-Demand Texture Streaming: Minimal
  • Allocated Texture Cache Size: 25
• • Download Limits: On
• Local Texture Streaming Quality: Normal

On-Demand Texture Streaming is now turned on by default and can’t be turned off, so the best workaround is to make sure it’s Minimal, set the Allocated Texture Cache Size to 25, and turn Download Limits on with the lowest limit possible. This will disable the setting once 1GB has been downloaded.

Shadow and Lighting

• Shadow Quality: Low
• Screen Space Shadows: Off
• Occlusion and Screen Space Lighting: Off

• Static Reflection Quality: Low

Environment

View

• Motion Reduction Preset: Off
• Field of View: 100 – 120
• ADS Field of View: Affected
• Weapon Field of View: Default
• 3rd Person Field of View: 90
• Vehicle Field of View: Default

The FOV sweet spot for most players is around 100 to 120. This offers the best performance without losing out on vital information at the edges of your screen, which is really important in multiplayer given how fast-paced the action is.

Camera

• World Motion Blur: Off
• Weapon Motion Blur: Off
• Film Grain: 0.00
• 1 Person Camera Movement: Least (50%)
• 3 Person Camera Movement: Least (50%)
• 3rd Person ADS Transition: 3rd Person ADS
• Inverted Flashbang: On

You’ll want to turn off all types of Motion Blur and Film Grain, as it causes unnecessary visual clutter on your screen. The Inverted Flashbang setting turns your screen black instead of a blinding white, so it’s a nice quality-of-life feature to turn on.

Depending on your PC specs, you can expect to get at least triple-digit FPS with these settings, although they won’t make your game look the prettiest. Feel free to experiment around with your settings to find the perfect balance of performance and visuals.
