Now that Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred is out, all new demon slayers are joining the fold, and you might be one of them. Saving the world of Sanctuary from the hordes of hell is a tall task. So, we’ve taken the liberty of trying to find the best possible Diablo 4 settings configurations for high FPS without sacrificing much of the visual strength.
Diablo 4 was already a great looking game and Vessel of Hatred brings in even more incredible art direction. I’ve been tweaking around with multiple configurations and found that these were the best in balancing performance and visual quality.
For reference, I ran the game on an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with a 4070 GPU setup. Given that I prefer playing games on 1080p, I didn’t really have any need to download Diablo 4’s high-resolution assets which is an easy 54gb to shave off of the install size. But if you’re someone who likes running games on 4K, then it’s a mandatory download.
That being said, here are the best Diablo 4 video settings in 2024:
- Resolution: 1920×1080 (16:9 Widescreen)
- Vertical Sync: Off
- Limit Cutscene FPS: On
- Peripheral Lighting: On
- View Distance: Far
- Resolution Scaling: NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution
- Quality Mode: Quality
- Sharpen Image: 10
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
- Max Foreground FPS: 200
- Max Background FPS: 30
- Texture Quality: High
- Anistrophic Filtering: 8x
- Shader Quality: Medium
- Geometric Complexity: Medium
- Terrain Geometry Detail: High
- Clutter: Low
- Fog Quality: Medium
- Fur Quality: Medium
- Reflection Quality: High
- Screen Space Reflections: On
- Anti-Aliasing Quality: High
- Ambient Occlusion: High
- Shadow Quality: Medium
- Contact Shadows Quality: High
- Particles Quality: High
- Water Simulation Quality: Low
- Physics Quality: Medium
- Distortion: On
- Low FX: Off
- Ray Traced Shadows Quality: Off
- Ray Traced Reflections Quality: Off
It is worth noting that a lot of this can also be based on your personal preference and what parts you have on your PC. A lot of the settings on high such as texture quality barely affects FPS performance. If anything, it’ll be the difference of just less than 10 FPS. If you do notice some stuttering and freezing, consider lowering more of the settings such as shadows, particles, and view distance. To be honest, Diablo 4 is still quite a looker even on medium presets
