Optimized PC Graphics Settings for God of War Ragnarok

Display Mode

This setting determines whether the game uses part of the screen or the entire display. Use Fullscreen for the most immersive experience.

Fullscreen

Resolution

This setting determines the resolution of the game. Choose Native as going below will make the game extremely blurry.

Native

VSync

This setting eliminates screen tearing but limits FPS to your monitor's refresh rate and introduces slight input lag. Enable it if you have a 144Hz or higher monitor. For 60Hz monitors, you can also turn it on if you're comfortable with a 60 FPS cap.

On

Aspect Ratio

This setting defines the ratio between horizontal and vertical pixels. Select your monitor's native aspect ratio.

Native

Frame Rate Limit

This setting limits your game's framerate to the chosen value. Turn it off to maximize GPU performance, or turn it on for more consistent and stable FPS.

Personal Choice

Latency Reduction

This setting uses latency-reduction technology to make the game feel more responsive, though it may introduce slight stuttering.

Off

Frame Gen

This setting uses frame generation technology to create artifical frames. It's only available on newer-gen GPUs. Use it only if you're in need of extra frames, as it can introduce ghosting effects.

Off

Scaling Method

This setting determines which upscaling technology is used to enhance the game's visuals. Nvidia users should select DLSS, while others should opt for FSR.

DLSS/FSR

Scaling Quality

This setting controls how low the game's actual render resolution will be before being upscaled. Players at 1080p should select Native, while those using higher resolutions can opt for Quality or even Balanced.

Lighting
