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 (1920×1080 is standard)
• Screen Mode: Borderless Fullscreen (if you frequently Alt+Tab); 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 shimmering is noticeable)
• Reflection: Low
• Field of View: Ideally Max (though increasing FOV may impact frame rate slightly)
• Portal Frame Rate Quality: Low
• Portal Quality: Low

While most settings should be set to Low, consider increasing Effects and Anti-aliasing for improved visuals if performance allows. These settings have a relatively minor impact on performance.

Note: The Field of View (FOV) setting can heavily impact frame rate. Maximize it for competitive advantage, but slightly reducing it (by 3-4) might improve performance without significantly affecting visibility.

Other Recommended Splitgate 2 Settings

Beyond frame rate, these settings enhance your gameplay:

• Sensitivity: Adjust to your preference; use online calculators to convert settings from other games.
• Audio: Lower in-game music volume to reduce distractions. Enable Windows Spatial Sound for more accurate audio cues.

By implementing these settings, you'll optimize Splitgate 2 for a smoother, more responsive experience.
