What are the best performance settings for The Finals?

The Finals video settings for max FPS
Here are the best video settings in The Finals for the best performance, giving you as high a framerate as possible without putting you at a competitive disadvantage.
In some cases, these video settings may even give you a competitive advantage; you'll be more likely to beat an opponent using motion blur if you aren't using it yourself.
- Window Mode: Fullscreen
- DLSS Frame Generation: Enabled (40-series RTX graphics cards only)
- VSync: Disabled
- Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: On+Boost
- Resolution Scaling Method: Nvidia DLSS (RTX graphics cards only)
- Nvidia DLSS: DLAA
- Field of View: 90
- Motion Blur: Disabled
- Lens Distortion: Disabled
- Nvidia RTX Global Illumination: Static
- View Distance: High
- Anti-Aliasing: Low
- Shadows: Low
- Post-processing: Low
- Texture: Low
- Effects: Low
- Foliage: Low
- Global Illumination Resolution: Low
Of these settings, the most important to turn off is Nvidia RTX Global Illumination, which should be set to Static. If you have this set to dynamic, you'll enable real-time ray tracing in your game, which comes at a heavy performance cost.
40-series RTX graphics cards may be capable of playing The Finals at a high framerate with Global Illumination set to Dynamic; however, to maximise your frames, you should still turn the setting off.
That's all there is to know about the best performance settings for The Finals. Now, you'll be better equipped before you face off against other players in the arena. For more guides like this, why not check whether The Finals will be released on PS4 or our guide to all the ranks in The Finals?
