If you have an NVIDIA GPU, this is the most important setting for responsiveness.
If you are playing on the go:
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|--------|------------------|
| Display Mode | Fullscreen |
| Resolution | 1080p or 1440p (avoid 4K for high FPS) |
| VSync | Off (use G-Sync/FreeSync if available) |
| Upscaling Method | DLSS (Quality/Balanced) for NVIDIA RTX, FSR 2.2 (Balanced) for others |
| Ray-Traced Reflections | Off (biggest performance killer) |
| Ray-Traced Shadows | Off |
| Ambient Occlusion | SSAO or Off |
| Shadows | Medium |
| Texture Quality | High (if VRAM ≥8GB) / Medium (6GB or less) |
| Traffic Density | Low or Medium |
| Crowd Density | Low |
| Hair Quality | Medium |
| Weather Particle Quality | Low |
| Depth of Field | Off |
| Motion Blur | Off (personal preference, small FPS gain) |
| Film Grain | Off |
| Chromatic Aberration | Off |
After patch 1.12+ (mid-2025), DLSS 3 Frame Gen for RTX 40-series works much better — enable if you have an RTX 4060 or higher.
