Splitgate 2 Best Video Settings

In a competitive shooter like Splitgate 2, performance trumps visual fidelity. Prioritize frame rate over eye candy. The game might look less stunning, but it will play much better.

• Screen Resolution: Monitor’s Native (1920×1080 is standard)
• Screen Mode: Borderless Fullscreen (for easy Alt+Tabbing), otherwise Fullscreen.
• VSync: Off (introduces significant 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. If the visuals are too harsh, consider increasing Effects and Anti-aliasing—they have a relatively minor performance impact. While maximum FOV is ideal for competitive play, a small reduction might boost performance noticeably.

Other Recommended Splitgate 2 Settings

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

• Sensitivity: Adjust to your preference or use an online calculator to convert from other games.
• Audio: Lower the in-game music if it's distracting. Enable Windows Spatial Sound for improved audio cues.

That covers the optimal settings for Splitgate 2.
