Looking for the finest weapons to use right now in Splitgate? Here are the results of our poll.
Splitgate System Minimum Requirements
We’ll utilize Splitgate’s minimal requirements, which are exclusively listed on Steam. It is not a tough game to play. This game should work on pretty much any gaming PC built in the past six or seven years. Some of the elder ones may even be able to do so.
- Windows 7, 8, or 10 are the operating systems available.
- Any dual-core CPU will suffice.
- 6 GB of memory
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 1GB graphics card
- Version 11 of DirectX
- 15 GB of storage (as of September 2021)
Splitgate Video Configuration

Fullscreen, Borderless Windowed, or Windowed display modes are available.
Here, you may select between fullscreen and borderless, but not windowed. Fullscreen is your best option if you just have one monitor and don’t intend on tabbing out often. Borderless is excellent if you have several displays and/or intend on tabbing out.
Determination
This is completely dependent on your display, however most people will choose 1920×1080. Even if your display is capable of 1440p+, you may want to use a 1080p resolution depending on your graphics card to ensure you don’t sacrifice frame rate and performance.
Scale of Resolution
This is mostly determined by two factors: your monitor and the performance of your computer. If your display and PC can’t support it, you shouldn’t attempt to increase the resolution scale much. Without knowing your setup, it’s difficult to make a recommendation for this setting, so I’d recommend experimenting with it to see what works best for you.
FOV (Field of View) (Field of View)
Things on the screen grow smaller as your range of vision expands. I’d suggest a FOV of about 105 if you want to be able to see more without losing some of your concentration. I’d recommend a FOV of about 90 if you want a narrower FOV while still being able to see what’s going on.
Frame Rate Capacity
This is also dependent on the monitor you’re using. Find out what your monitor’s refresh rate is and use it to set your frame rate limit.
🖥️ VSync
Off at all times. VSync basically tries to match the refresh rate of your display to the frame rate of your game, which seems like a decent concept. However, the issue is that it often causes your game to slow. VSync is helpful in certain situations (primarily in single-player, non-FPS games), but I usually recommend turning it off.
Quality Controls for Splitgate Graphics

Viewing Distance
As high as your computer’s capabilities will allow. When utilizing a sniper or carbine, view distance is crucial for being able to observe opponents from a long distance. Although having your view distance set to the maximum level may create performance problems, it is ultimately worthwhile. If you can’t tolerate the maximum setting, at least put it on the second highest.
Post-Processing
This should be toned down to a minimum–no there’s need to spend performance on it. Post-processing enhances the quality of pictures, visuals, and 3D models, but it is not required for good performance in-game. If your objective is to win, an option whose only purpose is to improve the look of a game isn’t worth putting on. Sure, it seems great, but it will frequently make you do more harm than good.
‘Shadows’
In shooting games, shadows should always be kept to a minimum. They’re pointless and just serve to degrade your performance. Only use high shadows if you’re playing single-player games where it adds to the experience.
Textures are a kind of material that is used to create a
You want them to be low as well. Because excellent textures aren’t required for success, they don’t need to be turned up all the way.
repercussions
Low. “Effects” include the majority of the game’s non-essential features, such as blood spatter and fire effects. When firing a rocket launcher, for example, you don’t need to see every single smoke and fire particle. Turning them down to a low setting can only benefit your performance.
Anti-Aliasing Anti-Aliasing Anti-Aliasing Anti-A
Low. Anti-aliasing is a technique used in video games to make graphics and models seem smooth and realistic, although it isn’t necessary in competitive shooters. Turning this down low won’t make your game appear “blocky,” but it will make it less fluid.
Quality of the Portal
Here, I suggest a low score. I won’t lie to you: I tested this setting on each level and couldn’t notice much of a difference anyway. So, since it doesn’t appear to make a difference, turn it all the way down.
FRAME RATE OF THE PORTAL
Medium to high level. If you don’t have to, you don’t want to lose much in terms of frame rates.
Configure the Mouse and Keyboard Separately

Horizontal Sensitivity is a term that refers to how sensitive something is on the horizontal plane.
3-6. Professional gamers of FPS games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and CS:GO have a lower sensitivity is better trend. Many professionals prefer lower in-game sensitivity and a DPI range of approximately 400-1600 DPI. In the end, this is a personal choice, and I like a setting of about 10. It’s a bit rushed, but it gets the job done for me.
Vertical Sensitivity is a term that refers to the ability to detect changes in the vertical
3-6. Vertical sensitivity is a personal choice, however I’ve found that having it lower than my horizontal sensitivity has worked well for me. In shooter games, you’ll often find yourself shifting your sights vertically in less dramatic ways, and this is one method I compensate so that I can respond fast to horizontal action without losing all of my shooting accuracy.
Zoom Sensitivity Multiplier is a tool that allows you to zoom in and out of a scene.
When you zoom in, this multiplier impacts your sensitivity. Set this to 1 if you want your scoped in movement to feel the same as everything else. Put it above 1 if you want it to be quicker, or below 1 if you want it to be slower. Personally, I set mine to 1 to make everything seem the same.
Look in the opposite direction
Most people like conventional look controls, which should go without saying. Some players have picked up the habit of utilizing inverted controls from flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator, but unless you like a challenge, don’t turn this on.
‘Autosprint’ is a term used to describe a vehicle that
This is something I don’t do, but it’s ultimately up to you. I just find autosprint to be inconvenient. Having it on auto may be inconvenient if you don’t want to worry about halting your sprint at the appropriate moment.
Smoothing of the mouse
Off. It’s pointless. Mouse smoothing attempts to make your mouse movements “smoother,” but most of the time it doesn’t work. You don’t need this unless you have a very poor mouse that doesn’t do smooth movement already. If you really need it, you should simply buy a new mouse.
Crouch Toggle Crouch Toggle Crouch Toggle Crouch Toggle Cro
Off. Turning this option on allows you to press your crouch button once and remain crouched, as opposed to off, which requires you to keep the button down to stay crouched. Most players ignore this, but consider your own playstyle to see whether it makes sense for you.
Toggle Sprint is a toggle switch that allows you to change the speed of your car
Off. Same concept as before, but this time for sprinting–if you like toggling, keep it on. Toggle sprint is a terrible concept in my opinion since you have to think about when to end it instead of doing it automatically. For crouch or zoom, it seems a little more natural, but we anticipate that almost all players will leave this option off.
Zoom in and out
Depending on how you play. I don’t use it, but if you do, that’s OK with me. It’s a good idea to have it on if you intend on performing a lot of sniping or if you mainly utilize ranged weapons. You certainly don’t want it in more fast-paced scenarios like close-range SMG or Assault Rifle battles.
HUD UI Settings for Splitgate

- Leave this turned on if you want to know when your PC’s performance is slipping. Knowing how severely your frames are deteriorating may be beneficial. I suggest turning them off since I don’t want additional numbers cluttering up my HUD and distracting me from the game.
- Subtitles to be shown: Off. Subtitles aren’t required at any point throughout the game.
- Show Damage Numbers: Select this option and turn it on. There’s no need to turn it off since it tells you how much health your opponents have left.
- Display Low Ammo Keep this turned on as well. It’s a handy reminder prompt, and it’s worth the little amount of screen real estate it takes up.
Crosshairs for Splitgate
1047 Games courtesy of HGG / Brett Moss
Activate Sprint Crosshair
On. When you stop running, it helps you refocus yourself.
Color of Crosshairs
This is entirely up to you, although I like to keep mine white. Some individuals prefer a different hue, which is perfectly reasonable, and colorblind folks may benefit from this as well.
Color of Enemy Crosshair
When you have an opponent in your sights, your crosshair will change to this hue. It’s also up to you, however I find that the basic red looks excellent. Other bright hues, such as yellow and pink, are preferred by certain players.
Customization of Individual Weapons
I wouldn’t suggest tinkering with this too much. Though some players argue that different crosshairs should be used for longer and shorter ranged weapons, such as one for shotguns, fists, and BFB and another for all other weapons. It’s definitely worth a go to see if it works for your brain. If the crosshair change serves as a useful indication that it’s time to get up close and personal (as in the example above), it may be the best option for you. I’ve discovered a crosshair that stands out and works for me, so I’m going to stay with it.
