So, here are some of the best PC and Laptop settings that you can opt for to ensure that you have optimum gameplay:

1. Mouse and Keyboard Controls

If you are playing with a mouse and keyboard, it is always recommended to play with low sensitivities as it provides greater control and accuracy. Unless you operate with both a high-powered graphics card and a high-end CPU, in which case, by all means, you should be able to achieve exceptional graphics and frames without fiddling with the settings.

• Sensitivity – 9.
• ADS Mouse Sensitivity – 0.7-0.9
• Mouse Acceleration – 0.
• Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier – 1.00
• Mouse Smoothing – Disabled.
• Mouse Filtering – 0.

2. Graphics

• Display Mode – Fullscreen
• Refresh Rate – That of your monitor
• Resolution – The same as your monitor
• Aspect Ratio – Automatic.
• V-Sync – Off.
• Render Resolution – Begin at 100, and keep adjusting as per your performance.
• NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency – Enabled.
• Field of View – Personal Preference can raise it between 90 and 120.
• Frame Rate Limit – Custom

Details and Texture

• Texture Quality – Low to medium (depends on your card. 3080+ can do high/ultra)
