Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
PUBG supports DLSS and FSR. Often CPU-limited early game, so upscaling helps most at 1440p and 4K.
ShadowsVery Low+12% FPS
The biggest GPU cost in PUBG. Low/Medium is the standard competitive pick - shadows also carry tactical info, so do not go Very Low.
Post-ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and ambient effects. Low gives a cleaner competitive image.
FoliageLow+5% FPS
Grass and bush density - a tactical setting. Keep at least Medium so cover is fair.

Smoke, fire and grenade effects. Lowering reduces visual clutter in firefights.
View DistanceLow+4% FPS
How far terrain and objects render. Keep at Medium or higher for competitive spotting.
Anti-AliasingLow+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium is a good balance of clarity and performance.
TexturesUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM.
SharpenOff+1% FPS
Sharpening filter to offset upscaler softness. Free; set to taste.
Motion BlurOffbaseline
