Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen
Most HUD elements are scaled with Static Aspect based on horizontal resolution. For example, increasing the horizontal resolution while maintaining the same vertical resolution will scale the HUD elements up. This may cause HUD elements to not be visible on screen at extreme aspect ratios like 32:9.
4K Ultra HD
Nvidia DSR zooms in to the top left corner. To fix, enable "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on the executable's compatibility settings.
Field of view (FOV)
Default is 62. See Field of view (FOV).
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Vertical sync (Vsync)
Double buffered
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Field of view (FOV)

Changing your Field of View may cause issues when hip firing guns.
