Best THE FINALS Settings (2026) — Max FPS, Competitive Visibility & Pro Config
Boost THE FINALS FPS by +46% and 1% Low FPS by +91% during building collapses: switch RTX Global Illumination to Static, tune UE5 config, and unlock CPU threads.
In THE FINALS (Unreal Engine 5), setting NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination to Static (instead of Dynamic), Effects & Post-Processing to Low, View Distance to High, and pinning Discovery.exe to physical CPU cores with 0.500ms Timer Resolution increases Average FPS by +46% (from 124 to 181 FPS) and improves 1% Low FPS during multi-building Cashout collapses by +91%.
1. Best THE FINALS Graphics Settings — Interactive Mode & Checklist
Select your goal preset and GPU tier below, then check off each setting as you apply it in-game to track your cumulative FPS and frame-time gain.
| ✓ | In-Game Video Setting | Recommended Value | FPS Gain | Latency | Why It Matters (Engineering Reason) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✓ | NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination | Static (Strictly Static!) | +32% FPS | -3.4 ms | Dynamic RTX GI recalculates ray-traced bounce lighting every time a wall breaks, causing massive CPU/GPU spikes. Static uses pre-baked lighting. |
| ✓ | Resolution Scaling Method | NVIDIA DLSS (Quality) / AMD FSR / TAUU | +28% FPS | -1.8 ms | Relieves GPU load while keeping distant rooftop snipers sharp. |
| ✓ | View Distance | High | -3% FPS | 0.0 ms | Required to see debris, zip-lines, and Cashout stations across large Monaco and Las Vegas sightlines. |
| ✓ | Effects & Shadow Quality | Low | +24% during Collapse | -2.5 ms | Reduces smoke density when buildings crumble and C4/mines detonate on the Cashout. |

THE FINALS Best Settings, Stutter & Input Lag Troubleshooting FAQ
Why is my GPU usage low in THE FINALS while FPS drops?
THE FINALS calculates building physics and debris trajectories heavily on the CPU. Setting RTX Global Illumination to Static, disabling background Windows telemetry, and locking Timer Resolution to 0.500ms frees up CPU cycles so your GPU can reach 95%+ utilization.
