Splitgate 2 Best Video Settings

In a competitive shooter like Splitgate 2, performance trumps visuals. The following settings prioritize smooth gameplay, even if it means sacrificing some graphical fidelity.

• Screen Resolution: Monitor’s Native (1920×1080 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 shimmering is noticeable)
• Reflection: Low
• Field of View: Maximum (though slightly reducing it may improve performance)
• Portal Frame Rate Quality: Low
• Portal Quality: Low

Generally, aim for the lowest settings. However, if the visuals are too stark, consider increasing Effects and Anti-aliasing—these settings have a relatively low performance impact.

The Field of View (FOV) setting can heavily impact framerate. While maximum FOV is ideal for competitive play, slightly decreasing it (by 3-4) can yield noticeable performance gains without significantly affecting visibility.

Other Recommended Splitgate 2 Settings

These settings don't directly boost FPS but enhance the overall experience:

• Sensitivity: Adjust to your preference or use an online calculator to convert settings from other shooters.
• Audio: Lower in-game music volume to reduce distractions.
• Windows Spatial Sound: Enable this in your Windows settings for more accurate audio cues (a good tip for any game).

That covers the optimal settings for Splitgate 2. Enjoy smoother, lag-free gameplay!
