Sniper Elite Resistance Best PC Settings

Display

Display Mode

Borderless Fullscreen

Works just as well as Exclusive Fullscreen.

Resolution

Native

-

Vsync

Off

Introduces slight input lag. Best that it's turned off.

Render Scale

100%

Lowering it will improve performance but will make textures blurry.

Brightness

Personal Preference

HDR

On

If supported

Async Compute

On

Although this is meant for weaker CPUs, turning it off can result in texture flickering. Players can turn it off later when it's working as intended to get an FPS boost.

Reduce Mouse Lag

On

Helps reduce latency if you're playing on a mouse and keyboard.

Graphics

Graphics Detail

Custom

We'll tweak individual settings, so no need to set a pre-determined graphical preset.

Anti-Aliasing

High/Ultra

Ultra looks the sharpest but introduces prominent aliasing around textures. High reduces jagged edges but textures can look blurry at certain angles. The performance difference is minimal.

Shadow Detail

Medium

Turning shadows down to medium gives a major FPS boost while maintaining a solid shadow quality.

Reflection Detail

High

Reflective surfaces are mostly indoors, so reflections won't be tanking your FPS that much. If they are, feel free to drop this to medium.

Draw Distance

Ultra

This is an important setting that renders objects and characters from afar and allows you to scope out an area or get some kills before arriving there. There is an above-average performance impact, however. High preset is second best for draw distance.

Texture Detail

High

4GB VRAM: Medium, 6GB VRAM: High, 8GB+ VRAM: Ultra (follow this legend to set textures according to your hardware.)

Water Detail

High

This mainly manages the water surfaces of streams and canals, which are mostly at the exterior of the play area. Turning it up won't affect performance much either.

Ambient Occlusion

On

-

Motion Blur

On

Although motion blur can be a distraction, Sniper Elite Resistance's implementation of it is pretty decent.

Tessellation

On

Improves the loot of terrain and other objects that are part of the environment with additional textures. Performance impact is minimal.

Obscurance Fields

Off

Although this isn't a very demanding setting, considering it adds Ray-Traced shadows, the effect is only centered around the player or other characters. When there are a lot of characters on-screen, the FPS will take a hit.
