Windows Run (Win + R)
$
-highOptimal In-Game Video Settings
Carefully balanced for maximum frame rate, clear enemy identification, and lowest click-to-photon latency.
Display Mode
Fullscreen
Why this value?Crucial. Windowed mode introduces 15ms DWM desktop compositor input lag.
Resolution
1920x1080 (16:9)
Why this value?Native resolution provides highest pixel sharpness for crosshair precision.
Multithreaded Rendering
On
Why this value?Essential. Gives a massive 40-70 FPS increase on modern multi-core CPUs.
Material Quality
Low
Why this value?Reduces texture clutter, making enemy agent silhouettes pop.
Detail & Texture Quality
Low
Why this value?Maximizes 1% low frame consistency during heavy ability usage.
UI Quality
Low
Why this value?Zero impact on visual gameplay, saves GPU memory.
Vignette & VSync
Off
Why this value?VSync introduces devastating mouse input lag. Keep permanently disabled.
Anti-Aliasing
MSAA 2x or 4x
Why this value?Smoothes jagged edges on agent outlines without blurring crosshair.
Anisotropic Filtering
4x or 8x
Why this value?Crisp ground texture lines for crosshair placement lineups with negligible FPS cost.
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency
On + Boost
Why this value?Maintains GPU clocks at peak even when CPU-bound, minimizing click-to-photon latency.
