Best PUBG Settings for FPS and Visibility on PC

The best PUBG settings for most PC players are fullscreen at your monitor's native resolution, Screen Scale at 100, FPP field of view at 103, and Post-Processing, Shadows, Effects and Foliage at Very Low. Keep Textures at Medium or higher if your graphics card has the memory, and turn V-Sync and Motion Blur off. This gives you high frame rates and makes enemies easier to see. Treat everything below as a starting point, then adjust it for your own PC.

Best PUBG graphics settings

You'll find most of these under Settings > Graphics, with the detailed options on the Advanced tab.

Setting	Recommended	Why
Display Mode	Fullscreen	Usually the lowest input lag and highest FPS
Resolution	Native (e.g. 1920×1080)	Lower resolutions blur distant players
FPP Camera FOV	103	Widest view in first-person; most competitive players use 90 to 103
Screen Scale	100	Below 100 makes the game blurry, above 100 costs FPS
Overall Quality	Custom	Set each option yourself instead of using a preset
Anti-Aliasing	Medium (see below)	Guides disagree; Medium is the common middle ground
Post-Processing	Very Low	Less bloom and haze, big FPS gain
Shadows	Very Low	Fewer dark corners for enemies to hide in
Texture	Medium or higher	Clearer detail; lower it only if you run short of video memory
Effects	Very Low	Less clutter from explosions and smoke
Foliage	Very Low	Less grass and fewer plants to draw
View Distance	Medium to High	Controls how far away objects are drawn in detail
Sharpen	Try both	Can make outlines clearer, but looks grainy on some screens
V-Sync	Off	Adds input lag
Motion Blur	Off	Smears the picture when you turn

The settings that matter most

If you only change three things, start with Post-Processing, Shadows and Effects. They're expensive for your graphics card, and the effects they add, such as bloom, dark shading and smoke, can hide players. Guides consistently list these as the biggest frame rate gains, though the exact gain depends on your hardware.

Anti-Aliasing: the one guides disagree on

Anti-Aliasing smooths jagged edges. PUBG Support recommends keeping it on, and some guides suggest High or Ultra because a smoother image makes distant players stand out from shimmering backgrounds. Others prefer Very Low for the sharpest close-range picture.

There's one practical reason to keep it at Medium or higher: PUBG's DLSS and FSR options only appear when Anti-Aliasing is at Medium, High or Ultra.

DLSS and FSR

Since Update 43.1 in September 2026, PUBG on PC supports NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.1. They render the game at a lower resolution and upscale it, which can raise your frame rate.

Set Anti-Aliasing to Medium or higher.
Go to Settings > Graphics > Advanced.
Under Resolution Upscaling, choose NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR.
Pick a quality level, or let the game choose one for your resolution.

If you already reach your monitor's refresh rate without upscaling, you can leave it off. It's most useful on mid-range and older graphics cards.

DirectX version and frame rate

The DirectX version is also set on the Advanced graphics tab. DirectX 11 is the version listed in the official requirements and a safe default. If your game offers DirectX 12, test both in the same kind of fight and keep whichever gives steadier frames.

For frame rate:

Show your FPS with an overlay from your graphics driver or Steam, and test in busy moments, not in the lobby.
Uncapped FPS gives the lowest input lag on strong PCs.
Capping a few frames below your refresh rate can feel smoother if your FPS jumps around a lot, especially with G-Sync or FreeSync.

Mouse settings

There's no single best sensitivity, so build your own setup:

Start with 400 to 800 DPI on your mouse. It's a common starting point, and you fine-tune from there with the in-game sliders.
Set General sensitivity first, then match your ADS and scope sensitivities so every sight feels similar.
Try a Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier slightly below 1.0. Some players find it makes pulling down against recoil more controlled.
Turn off "Enhance pointer precision" in Windows mouse settings, which adds acceleration.
Practice in Training Mode on Camp Jackal before you change anything again.

Change one thing at a time, and give each change a few matches before judging it.

Audio settings

Sound tells you where enemies are, so set it up properly:

Use headphones. Stereo headphones make footsteps, vehicles and gunshots far easier to place than speakers.
Turn lobby music down or off so it doesn't drown out voice chat.
Avoid stacking extra 3D sound effects from Windows or your headset software if footsteps start sounding muddy.
Keep the master volume high enough to hear distant shots without raising it to uncomfortable levels in close fights.

Best settings for a low-end PC

If your PC is close to the PUBG system requirements, try these in order:

Update your graphics driver.
Set every graphics option to Very Low, then raise only Texture and View Distance if you have room.
Turn on DLSS or FSR if your graphics card supports it.
Close browsers, overlays and recording tools.
Plug in laptops and make sure PUBG runs on the dedicated graphics card.
Lower Screen Scale below 100 only as a last resort, because the picture gets noticeably softer.

PUBG Support also notes that the game picks recommended settings for your PC when it first starts, so if things look wrong after a hardware change, check the settings again.

Console settings

On console, the hardware decides much of the picture:

Console	Mode
PlayStation 5	1440p at 60 FPS
PlayStation 5 Pro	Dynamic 4K at 60 FPS
Xbox Series X	Dynamic 4K at 60 FPS
Xbox Series S	Choose 1080p at 60 FPS or 1440p at 30 FPS

On Xbox Series S, pick the 60 FPS mode for competitive play. Turn on your TV's Game Mode to cut display lag, and lower your stick deadzone until just before your view starts drifting by itself.

Update 44.1 also made controllers more responsive on console. The time the game takes to tell a tap from a hold dropped from 0.3 to 0.2 seconds for gameplay actions like going prone and throwing, and the Message Radial now stays open after you release the right stick. KRAFTON says these changes come to PC controllers in Update 44.2 in December.

Once your settings feel right, use them in Ranked. Our PUBG ranked guide explains the tiers and requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best graphics settings for PUBG?

For most PC players: fullscreen, native resolution, Screen Scale 100, FPP FOV 103, and Post-Processing, Shadows, Effects and Foliage on Very Low. Keep Textures at Medium or higher, and turn V-Sync and Motion Blur off.

What is the best FOV for PUBG?

Most competitive players use an FPP Camera FOV between 90 and 103, and 103 is the most common choice. A wider view shows more of your surroundings, while a lower one makes distant targets look slightly bigger.

Does PUBG have DLSS?

Yes. Since Update 43.1 in September 2026, PUBG on PC supports NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4.1. The options appear in the advanced graphics settings when Anti-Aliasing is at Medium or higher.

Should I turn Anti-Aliasing on in PUBG?

PUBG Support recommends keeping it on, and Medium is a good starting point. It's also required for DLSS and FSR, which only appear at Medium, High or Ultra.

How do I get more FPS in PUBG?

Lower Post-Processing, Shadows, Effects and Foliage first, since they cost the most. Then try DLSS or FSR, update your graphics driver and close background apps.

What is the best sensitivity for PUBG?

There's no single best number. A common approach is to start at 400 to 800 DPI, set General sensitivity until you can turn comfortably, match your ADS and scope sensitivities, and then stop changing them so your aim can adapt.
