Vanguard still looks great on low settings, and you'll have a much smoother and more enjoyable time when hitting a decent frame rate.
Here are the settings we recommend using if you're on lower-end hardware.
Display
- Display Mode: Fullscreen
- Monitor: Your primary gaming monitor
- Refresh Rate: Your monitor's refresh rate (e.g 144)
- Sync Every Frame (V-Sync): Off
- Framerate Limit: Custom
- Gameplay Custom Framerate Limit: Your monitor's refresh rate (e.g 144)
- Menu Custom Framerate Limit: 60
- Minimized Game Custom Framerate Limit: 15
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
- Display Resolution: Your monitor's resolution (e.g 1920×1080)
- Display Gamma: 2.2 (sRGB)
- Focused Mode: Off
- Focused Mode Opacity: 0
- Display Adapter: Your graphics card
- On-Demand Texture Streaming: Off
You want to make sure that your Framerate limit matches your monitor's refresh rate. If you're reaching frames well above what your monitor can display, you may see screen tearing.
Quality
Global Quality
- Render Resolution: 100
- VRAM Usage Target: 80%
If you have your VRAM Usage Target too high, you could see stuttering and hitching. If this is happening to you, keep lowering the target until you're seeing smooth gameplay.
Details & Textures
- Texture Resolution: Low
- Texture Filter Anisotropic: Medium
- Particle Quality Level: Medium
- Particle Resolution: Low
- Bullet Impacts & Sprays: Off
- Tesselation: Off
- Level of Detail: Low
- Level of Detail Distance Quality: Low
- Volumetric Quality Level: Low
Shadow and Lighting
- Shadow Map Resolution: Low
- Sun Shadow Cascades: Low
- Cache Spot Shadows: Off
- Spot Cache Size: Off
- Cache Sun Shadows: Off
- Spot Shadow Quality: Low
- Particle Lighting: Medium
- Ambient Occlusion: Off
- GTAO: Low
- Screen Space Reflection: Low
Post Processing Effects
- Anti-Aliasing: SMAA T2X
- Filmic Strength: 0
Normally, we'd recommend having Anti-Aliasing set to either off or the lowest setting, but Vanguard forces you to use either SMAA T2X or Filmic SMAA T2X. Filmic can make your game look blurry, so we recommend using the regular T2X.
And for Filmic Strength, you should always have this set to 0. It adds unnecessary visual noise to your game, making it look worse for no reason.
Gameplay
- Field of View: 95-105
- ADS Field of View: Affected
- Camera Movement: Least (50%)
- World Motion Blur: Off
- Weapon Motion Blur: Off
- Depth of Field: Off
If you're on lower-end hardware, you should have your FOV set somewhere between 95 and 105. You'll still take advantage of seeing more of the world in front of you but won't suffer from the performance hit.
And for the other options such as Motion Blur and Depth of Field, you always want to have them set to off.
Best Vanguard graphics settings for high-end hardware
There's no point in forking out hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on the best hardware if you're not going to take advantage of it. NVIDIA 20 and 30 Series GPUs will be able to easily display high-quality graphics and reach high frame rates.

Here are the settings we recommend you use if you're on high-end hardware.
Display
- Display Mode: Fullscreen
- Monitor: Your primary gaming monitor
- Refresh Rate: Your monitor's refresh rate (e.g 165)
- Sync Every Frame (V-Sync): Off
- Framerate Limit: Custom
- Gameplay Custom Framerate Limit: Your monitor's refresh rate (e.g 165)
- Menu Custom Framerate Limit: 60
- Minimized Game Custom Framerate Limit: 15
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
- Display Resolution: Your monitor's resolution (e.g 2560×1440)
- Display Gamma: 2.2 (sRGB)
- Focused Mode: Off
- Focused Mode Opacity: 0
- Display Adapter: Your graphics card
- On-Demand Texture Streaming: Off
You want to make sure that your Framerate limit matches your monitor's refresh rate. If you're reaching frames well above what your monitor can display, you may see screen tearing.
Quality
Global Quality
- Render Resolution: 100
- VRAM Usage Target: 90%
High-end hardware should manage a VRAM Usage Target of 90%, but make sure to lower it if you begin experiencing stuttering or hitching.
Details & Textures
- Texture Resolution: High
- Texture Filter Anisotropic: Medium
- Particle Quality Level: Medium
- Particle Resolution: Low
- Bullet Impacts & Sprays: On
- Tesselation: Nearby Only
- Level of Detail: High
- Level of Detail Distance Quality: High
- Volumetric Quality Level: Low
Shadow and Lighting
- Shadow Map Resolution: High
- Sun Shadow Cascades: Medium
- Cache Spot Shadows: On
- Spot Cache Size: Medium
- Cache Sun Shadows: On
- Spot Shadow Quality: Low
- Particle Lighting: High
- Ambient Occlusion: Off
- GTAO: Medium
- Screen Space Reflection: Medium
Post Processing Effects
- Anti-Aliasing: SMAA T2X
- Filmic Strength: 0
Although Filmic SMAA T2X is the higher option, it will make the game appear blurry, so it should be avoided. And again, Filmic Strength should always be set to 0.
Gameplay
- Field of View: 105-120
- ADS Field of View: Affected
- Camera Movement: Least (50%)
- World Motion Blur: Off
- Weapon Motion Blur: Off
- Depth of Field: Off
If you're on higher-end hardware, you can likely crank your FOV all the way up to 120 without suffering from a significant performance hit. But, some players dislike how it distorts and shrinks the screen, so may want it slightly lower.
And for the other option such as Motion Blur and Depth of Field, you always want to have them set to off.
Does Vanguard have DLSS?
NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) allows players with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards to get much more frames at higher resolutions. DLSS sets your game to a lower resolution, increasing performance, but gives the appearance of a high resolution.

DLSS was not available in Vanguard's Beta, but as it is available for both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, it is expected to arrive with the full launch.
