Some of the main things you want to pay attention to would be your resolution, V-sync, resolution scaling method, RTX, field of view, and things like shadow quality.

Resolution helps to ensure visual fidelity, while V-sync can add input lag that bothers most first-person shooter players for the sake of a somewhat smoother experience.

With the current trends in technology, using something like NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR as a resolution scaling method can help to keep your framerate stable while making on-the-fly barely noticeable changes in visual quality.

If you have a high-end graphics card and want some stunning visuals, RTX can give you that for a cost of performance. If you don’t, then you certainly need to turn RTX off.

In terms of field of view, if you’re trying to see more of your peripheral, turn this up. It will put more on the screen and therefore potentially lower performance, however.

Things like shadow quality, foliage, etc. are all great for immersion and the finer details, however, they’re huge bogs when it comes to performance.

The last bit is that settings such as Motion Blur and Lens Distortion are very much just up to personal preference. I personally don’t enjoy them, but you can have them on if you want.

With that being said, find the best settings for The Finals split into the two categories below.

These settings are subject to change, as the game is only in the beta stage. As they update and improve the game, settings could be different.
