Adjusting the basic graphics settings can significantly enhance your gaming experience.

• Resolution: Set to your monitor's native resolution for the sharpest visuals.
• Window Mode: Opt for "Windowed Fullscreen" for seamless switching between applications without minimizing the game. Alternatively, "Fullscreen Exclusive" can minimize input lag.
• Frame Limit: Capping the frame rate can stabilize performance. Set it to match your monitor's refresh rate, or use 60 FPS as a reliable midpoint.
• VSync: Disabling VSync can reduce input lag, but if screen tearing becomes an issue, consider enabling it.
• Field of View: A setting around 90 degrees offers a balanced view without distorting the image.
