Splitgate 2 Best Video Settings
In a competitive shooter like Splitgate 2, performance trumps visual fidelity. The following settings prioritize smooth gameplay:
- Screen Resolution: Monitor’s Native (1920x1080 is standard)
- Screen Mode: Borderless Fullscreen (for easy Alt+Tabbing), otherwise Fullscreen.
- VSync: Off (significantly reduces input lag)
- FPS Limit: Monitor’s Refresh Rate (60, 144, 165, 240, etc.)
- Dynamic Resolution: On (experiment with Off; results vary by system)
- View Distance: Low
- Post Processing: Low
- Shadows: Medium (Low for older systems)
- Effects: Low
- Anti-Aliasing: Low (increase if you see shimmering)
- Reflection: Low
- Field of View: Maximum (though slightly reducing it may boost FPS)
- Portal Frame Rate Quality: Low
- Portal Quality: Low
Generally, prioritize the lowest settings. However, if the visuals are too jarring, consider increasing Effects and Anti-aliasing—these settings have a relatively minor performance impact. Experiment to find your balance.
Note that Field of View (FOV) can impact framerate. While maximum FOV is ideal for competitive play, a slight reduction (3-4 points) might improve performance without significantly impacting visibility.
Other Recommended Splitgate 2 Settings
These settings won't boost FPS directly, but improving them enhances your overall experience:
- Sensitivity: Adjust to your preference; use online calculators to convert settings from other games.
- Audio: Lower in-game music volume to reduce distractions.
- Windows Spatial Sound: Enable this in Windows settings for more accurate audio cues (a beneficial tip for all games).
That covers the optimal settings for Splitgate 2. Enjoy the smoother gameplay!
