Best Settings for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for PC
Indiana Jones and the Great Circleoffers many settings for players to customize to fine-tune the performance by adjusting visuals. Thevideo settings are divided into smaller sections, making it easier for players to identify each setting to tweak.
As a side note, these best settings will focus on keeping a balance between visuals and performance.
Display Mode
Fullscreen
Players can also use the Borderless Windowed option to make minimizing and refocusing the game easier.
Primary display monitor
-
Aspect Ratio
According to display
This will usually be either 16:9 or 16:10 for standard monitors.Players with ultrawide monitorswill need to select 21:9.
Picture Framing
The Picture Framing option is separate from display mode as it decides whether cinematic black bars show up or the image fills up the screen.
Field of View
90
Having too little FOV will take the immersion out of the game, but increasing FOV to maximum levels will degrade performance. 90 is a sweet spot for the FOV slider.
Vertical Sync
Off
Avoid turning on V-Sync to avoid input lag in the game.
FPS Limit
Native
There’s no unlimited option technically, so it’s best to save your resources and select the maximum refresh rate of your display here.
Motion Blur
Although it’s a personal preference, turning off motion blur is recommended.
Sharpening
Personal Preference
If the game feels too blurry, increase the sliders with increments of 5. Anywhere between 35-50 is a sweet spot for sharpening.
Overall Graphics Quality
Custom
We’ll fine-tune all the graphics settings, so no need to use a pre-determined graphical preset.
Texture Pool Size
Medium
This is by far the most taxing setting, as if the game doesn’t detect enough VRAM, it will plummet the in-game FPS to 5. Players who have 8GB VRAM can use low to medium here.
Shadow Quality
Themajority ofThe Great Circletakes place outdoors, with shadows rendering all the time. Best to keep them at medium to avoid a huge tax on performance.
Reflections Quality
One of the most taxing graphics quality settings in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Upscaling
DLSS
There isn’t any FSR option available, even on PCs with AMD GPU at the time of writing this guide. Hopefully, it gets added in post-launch.
Quality
Make sure to restart the game after applying the new graphics settings. This allows the new settings to properly apply in the game.
The game’s currently well-optimized, except for the Texture Pool Size setting, which heavily impacts FPS (not sure if that’s intended). The game will get further optimized with post-launch performance patches, so you can expect to raise a few settings after that happens.
