4. Best Vanguard Graphics Settings for Low-End PC

The settings indicated below are ideal for computers with hardware that is somewhere between the minimum and the recommended. The major goal is to maintain a stable 60 frames per second without sacrificing too much of the visual quality of Call of Duty: Vanguard. 

Best Settings for Low-end PC Include

i. Display

You should match your framerate limit to the refresh rate of your monitor. You may notice screen tearing if your frame rate exceeds what your monitor can display. 

• Display Mode: Fullscreen
• Monitor: Your primary gaming monitor
• Refresh Rate: Your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g 144)
• Sync Every Frame (V-Sync): Off
• Framerate Limit: Custom
  • Gameplay Custom Framerate Limit: Your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g 144)
  • Menu Custom Framerate Limit: 60
  • Minimized Game Custom Framerate Limit: 15
• NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
• Display Resolution: Your monitor’s resolution (e.g 1920×1080)
• Display Gamma: 2.2 (sRGB)
• Focused Mode: Off
• Focused Mode Opacity: 0
• Display Adapter: Your graphics card
• On-Demand Texture Streaming: Off

ii. Quality

Stuttering and hitching may occur if your VRAM Usage Target is set too high. If this happens to you, keep lowering the target until the game runs well. Normally, we’d recommend turning off or turning down Anti-Aliasing. Vanguard requires you to utilize either SMAA T2X or Filmic SMAA T2X. Because Filmic can make your game look shaky, we recommend sticking with the standard T2X. Also, you should always have Filmic Strength set to 0. It makes your game look worse for no reason by adding excessive visual noise.

Global Quality

• Render Resolution: 100
• VRAM Usage Target: 80%

Details And Textures

• Texture Resolution: Low
• Texture Filter Anisotropic: Medium
• Particle Quality Level: Medium
• Particle Resolution: Low
• Bullet Impacts & Sprays: Off
• Tesselation: Off
• Level of Detail: Low
• Level of Detail Distance Quality: Low
• Volumetric Quality Level: Low

Shadow and Lighting

• Shadow Map Resolution: Low
• Sun Shadow Cascades: Low
• Cache Spot Shadows: Off
• Spot Cache Size: Off
• Cache Sun Shadows: Off
• Spot Shadow Quality: Low
• Particle Lighting: Medium
• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• GTAO: Low
• Screen Space Reflection: Low

Post Processing Effects

• Anti-Aliasing: SMAA T2X
• Filmic Strength: 0

iii. Gameplay

Set your field of view to anywhere between 95 and 105 degrees. You’ll still benefit from seeing more of the world in front of you, but your performance won’t be harmed. You should always leave the other choices, such as Motion Blur and Depth of Field, turned off.

• Field of View: 95-105
  • ADS Field of View: Affected
• Camera Movement: Least (50%)
• World Motion Blur: Off
• Weapon Motion Blur: Off
• Depth of Field: Off

5. Best Vanguard Graphics Settings for High-End PC

It’s pointless to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on top-of-the-line technology if you’re not going to use it. The NVIDIA 20 and 30 Series GPUs will be capable of displaying high-quality graphics and achieving high frame rates with ease. Here are the settings we recommend you use if you’re on high-end hardware.

Best Settings for High-End PC Include

i. Display

You should match your framerate limit to the refresh rate of your monitor. You may notice screen tearing if your frame rate exceeds what your monitor can display.

• Display Mode: Fullscreen
• Monitor: Your primary gaming monitor
• Refresh Rate: Your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g 165)
• Sync Every Frame (V-Sync): Off
• Framerate Limit: Custom
  • Gameplay Custom Framerate Limit: Your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g 165)
  • Menu Custom Framerate Limit: 60
  • Minimized Game Custom Framerate Limit: 15
• NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
• Display Resolution: Your monitor’s resolution (e.g 2560×1440)
• Display Gamma: 2.2 (sRGB)
• Focused Mode: Off
• Focused Mode Opacity: 0
• Display Adapter: Your graphics card
• On-Demand Texture Streaming: Off

ii. Quality

High-end hardware should be able to manage a VRAM Usage Target of 90 percent, but reduce it if you start experiencing stuttering or hitching. Although Filmic SMAA T2X is the more expensive choice, it will cause the game to appear blurry and should be avoided. Again, Filmic Strength should always be set to zero.

Global Quality

• Render Resolution: 100
• VRAM Usage Target: 90%

Details & Textures

• Texture Resolution: High
• Texture Filter Anisotropic: Medium
• Particle Quality Level: Medium
• Particle Resolution: Low
• Bullet Impacts & Sprays: On
• Tesselation: Nearby Only
• Level of Detail: High
• Level of Detail Distance Quality: High
• Volumetric Quality Level: Low

• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• GTAO: Medium
• Screen Space Reflection: Medium

Post Processing Effects

• Anti-Aliasing: SMAA T2X

iii. Gameplay

If you’re using high-end hardware, you should be able to increase your FOV to 120 without experiencing a substantial performance penalty. However, some gamers may like it to be somewhat lower since they detest how it distorts and shrinks the image. And you should always leave the other options, such as Motion Blur and Depth of Field, turned off.

• Field of View: 105-120
  • ADS Field of View: Affected
• Camera Movement: Least (50%)
• World Motion Blur: Off
• Weapon Motion Blur: Off
• Depth of Field: Off

6. About Call of Duty: Vanguard

Call of Duty: Vanguard is about how the world as we know it may have been destroyed after World War II. Call of Duty’s past is deeply rooted in World War II, as seen by numerous of its titles. Sledgehammer Games, Vanguard’s primary studio, took its own take on the battle in 2017 with Call of Duty®: WWII.

Although the majority of the missions in Vanguard take place in a conflict with multiple fronts, they reflect how five ordinary soldiers became heroes, ultimately leading to what the game’s Campaign is all about — the origins of the original Special Forces — Task Force One — stopping what could have destroyed the world long after the war was over.
