Arena Breakout: Infinite Best Settings & Stutter Fix – FPS Optimization Guide
We can all agree that the third most important thing for being good in an FPS game after aim and game knowledge is, well, FPS! After all, it’s the reason we upgrade our PCs and monitors. To help you increase your FPS and, therefore, competitiveness, here is our ultimateArena Breakout: Infinite graphics settings optimization guide!
Best Graphics Settings for Arena Breakout: Infinite
To get thebest balance of FPS and visual fidelityinArena Breakout Infinite, use the settings we listed below. Note that you can go lower on some for a bit more FPS, but it’s probably not worth it. If you want to learn how we came up with these settings, scroll down for our in-depth analysis of each setting and its performance impact.
Optimized Settings
Arena Breakout: Infinite Graphics Settings Analysis
Thebaselinefor all tests wasall settings on low, 1080p resolution, Windowed Full-Screen,andupscaling off. The CPU used was a Ryzen 5 5600X, and the GPUs were an RTX 3060 and an RX6650XT.
Also, note that the baseline FPS is different for some settings because I had to do these testsover multiple raidsand on different spots. So, the accurateindicatorof each setting’sFPS impactis thedelta between Low, Medium, and High.
FPS Impact Summary
FPS Impact of All Settings
Screen Resolution & Screen Mode
Lowering screen resolutionshould be yourlast option. The visual degradation just isn’t worth it otherwise. The more important question is:should you use Full-Screen instead of Borderless?The answer isno, asFSB optimizationhas been brought toperfection, and it evenoutperforms FSEin some games. At least that’s true for DX11 and DX12 apps, and Arena Breakout: Infinite falls into that category.
Resolution Sampling – FSR2 vs TSR vs DLSS
DLSS is still the only viable upscaling algorithm, as others, likeFSR,TSR, andXeSS, produce unbearableghosting, which isdetrimental for FPS games. So, unless you’re really struggling for FPS on a non-Nvidia GPU, just leave this option off. Below are a few comparison images. Notice that the lower the settings, the more moving objects will look blurred or simply disappear as ghosting kicks in.
V-Syncis by far theworst thingyou can enable to try to fix screen tearing. Instead, useFast Sync(Nvidia) orEnhanced Sync (AMD)(G-Sync, FreeSync, and other sync options are also helpful), which are available in your GPU’s control panel. Triple-buffering can help you further iron out the tearing. However, it will induce even higherinput lag. You can also useRTSS’s Scanline Sync, though setting it takes a bit more time.
View Distance
View Distancecan tank your FPS a lot. However,when onLow,players won’t render for you if they are far away, making it hard to plan your movements. So, if you want to be competitive in Arena Breakout: Infinite, try to set this one at least on Medium.
Anti-Aliasing
Anti-Aliasingis a personal preference, really. If you setSharpness to 1andAA to Low, you’ll have a clear picture without too many jagged edges while retaining those few precious FPS. Still, if you really want to get rid of all the jaggedness, setting it to High will cost you only about 4-5% FPS.
Shadow Quality
As you can see in the image comparison above,Shadow Qualityimpacts thedetailanddistanceat whichshadowsare rendered. For the best FPS and competitive advantage, I’d set this to Low. It doesn’t have that big of an impact, so setting it to Medium/High is also an option.
Resolution
TheResolutionis the most vaguely described setting in Arena Breakout: Infinite. My guess is that it’s eitherSuper-Resolutionor something to do withtexture sizes, as the only noticeable difference in the image above is the ground texture detail. It’s the setting that’lltank your FPS the most, so unless you want to turn this game into a PowerPoint presentation, I’d leave it on Low.
Post-Processing Quality
Post-Processing Qualityseems to affectAmbient Occlusionintensity the most. It makes the game look much more realistic, but it has a relatively high FPS cost. I’d leave it on Low or Medium for best looks/performance.
Texture Quality
Texture Qualitydoes improve the looks of Arena Breakout: Infinite a tiny bit, but thequestion is whether you need it. If you’re using a high-resolution monitor, ramp this setting up. Otherwise, set it to Low and enjoy those extra few FPS without much worse visuals.
Effect Quality
Effect Qualityseems to tank your FPS only when there areexplosions,muzzle flashes,fires, etc. It also has aminor impact on water detail. Still, both of those are irrelevant for gameplay, making this setting a waste of resources.
Vegetation Quality
Vegetation Qualityis a setting that will make your game lookmuch more realistic, though theextra grass, bushes, and trees might obscure your visionand work against you during a raid. If you want to be as competitive as possible, set it to Low. Otherwise, leave it on High.
Shader Quality
Shader Qualityimpactsthe visual quality of waterandreflections. However, there are so few polished surfaces in Arena Breakout: Infinite that you’ll hardly notice the effects of this setting. So, whether you set it to Low or High, it won’t make a big difference.
Light Quality
Light Qualitycan actuallylower your FPS quite a bitif you’reindoorsin places with lots of artificial lighting. I recommend you leave it on Low as you’ll hardly notice the difference, and it’s not like it will make your gameplay any better.
