Marathon pushes your PC with its fast-paced extraction gameplay and detailed maps, even when action slows down. If you want steady performance while facing AI enemies and other Runners, you need settings that prioritize high and stable frame rates.
The right graphics configuration helps you reduce slowdowns, improve responsiveness, and keep visibility clear during fights. Adjusting each setting with performance in mind ensures your system delivers consistent FPS across every match.
Best PC settings in Marathon
Adjust both display and graphics options to keep your frame rate stable while maintaining clear visibility. Open the settings menu from the lobby and fine-tune the options below.
Display Setup
Use these core video options to stabilize performance and reduce input delay:
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Screen Mode | Fullscreen |
| Resolution | 1920×1080 or native |
| V-Sync | Off |
| Frame Rate Limit | Enabled |
| Max FPS | Match monitor refresh rate |
| Field of View | 105 |
| Brightness | 3–4 |
Fullscreen mode reduces background interruptions and improves consistency.
Disable V-Sync to lower latency, then cap your FPS to your monitor’s maximum refresh rate to prevent unnecessary spikes.
Keep your resolution at 1080p or native for clarity without excessive GPU strain.
Advanced Graphics Options
Lower demanding effects while keeping important visual detail:
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Anti-Aliasing | NVIDIA DLSS |
| Upscaling Mode | Balanced |
| Ambient Occlusion | Low |
| Anisotropic Filtering | 8x |
| Texture Quality | High |
| Shadows | Lowest |
| Environment / Character / Foliage Distance | Medium |
| Foliage Shadow Range | Low |
| Light Shafts | Off |
| Motion Blur | Off |
| HDR | Off |
| Chromatic Aberration | Off |
| NVIDIA Reflex | On |
| UI Refresh Rate | High |
Reduce shadow and lighting effects first, as they heavily impact performance.
Keep textures on High if your GPU has enough VRAM, and enable NVIDIA Reflex to minimize system latency during combat.
