| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | |||
| Ultra-widescreen | |||
| 4K Ultra HD | |||
| Field of view (FOV) | 40-140°. | ||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | |||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Only available in DirectX 11. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | FXAA enabled by default.[3] Change to Normal graphics preset to turn off AA. In DirectX 11, it is possible to switch off AntiAliasing in the Graphics Options menu. | ||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | At 120 FPS, the engine renders each frame twice (graphics engine is bound to physics engine (which runs at 60 ticks/s) with no working interpolation), so the real framerate is limited to 60. This also causes higher input lag and framerates below 60 to feel a lot less smooth. You can test this by using Cheat Engine to run the game at a lower speed.[citation needed] | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||
- Render quality limited to presets (Normal, High, Extreme) in DirectX 9. In DirectX 11 it is possible to change various settings.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/244850/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (244850) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
