Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Source 2 supports FSR and a resolution scale slider. The biggest FPS gain — and in a competitive shooter, frames matter more than a slight sharpness loss.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and detail. Medium is a big saving over High and barely noticeable in a fast-paced match.
Model / Detail QualityHighbaseline
Geometry detail on heroes and the map. Lowering it helps in busy team fights with little visual loss.
Particle DetailHighbaseline
Ability effects and gunfire. Drops most in team fights — exactly when you want stable frames.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap and subtle — safe to turn off for a few extra frames.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom and lens effects. Low gives a cleaner, clearer competitive image.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine to leave at High on most cards.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop a notch if you need frames.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
