FragPunk is a fast-paced 5v5 hero shooter, meaning high FPS and smooth gameplay are more important than fancy visuals. If you want the best performance and responsiveness, here are the optimal settings to use.

Best Display Settings

These settings ensure maximum FPS and smooth visuals without sacrificing clarity.

• Display Mode – Borderless (Easier Alt+Tab, but use Fullscreen for best performance)

• Resolution – Native (Match your monitor’s resolution)

• FOV – 105 (Adjust if needed, higher values increase visibility)

• V-Sync – OFF (Reduces input lag)

• Anti-Tearing – ON (DX12) / OFF (DX11)

• Graphics API – DX11 (if under 8GB VRAM) / DX12 (for ray tracing or better performance on newer GPUs)

• Sharpen – 1.5 (Adjust to preference)

• Frame Rate Limit – Unlimited or Monitor Refresh Rate (e.g., 144 FPS for a 144Hz monitor)

Best Graphics Settings for Maximum FPS

These settings prioritize performance over visuals, keeping the game clear and responsive.

• Upsampling & Anti-Aliasing – DLSS (RTX GPUs) / FSR 3 (AMD GPUs) / TAA (No upscaling)

• Resolution Quality – 100% (No Upscaling)

• Frame Generation – OFF (Avoid in fast-paced games)

• Low Latency Mode – OFF (Can cause stuttering)

• Mesh Quality – Epic (Minimal FPS impact)

• Shadow Quality – Medium (Lower = better FPS)

• Post Processing – Medium

• Texture Quality – Based on VRAM (High for 8GB+, Medium for 6GB, Low for 4GB or less)

• Effect Quality – Medium

• Screen Space Reflection – OFF

• Weapon Depth of Field – OFF

• Motion Blur (All Types) – OFF

• Ray Tracing – OFF (Drastically reduces FPS)

Minimalist Graphics Mode (For Competitive Play)

If you want the clearest visuals with no distractions, enable Minimalist Graphics in settings.

• Material Complexity – Simplified

• Light Complexity – Minimalist

• Effects Complexity – Minimalist

• Dead Effect – OFF

• Damage Numbers – OFF

• UI Info Simplification – ON

This mode removes extra visual clutter, making enemies easier to spot.

Extra Tweaks for Better Gameplay

These settings won't boost FPS but improve visibility and reduce distractions.

• Camera Shake During Sprint – OFF

• FOV Sprint Scaling – OFF

• Flash Eye Guarding Mode – ON (Replaces bright flashes with a softer effect)

• Performance Metrics – ON (Helps track FPS and GPU usage)

Final Blurb

For best FPS, turn off ray tracing, lower shadows and effects, and use DLSS or FSR if available. If you’re playing competitively, Minimalist Graphics Mode removes distractions and makes enemies easier to see.

Test your settings using FragPunk’s Benchmark Tool or hop into a private match to fine-tune performance. With these settings, you’ll be fragging at max FPS in no time.
