If the preferred resolultion is not offered, selecting a resolution above yours (i.e. 1920x1080 on a 1600x900 monitor) will make the game render at chosen resolution. If the display is higher than 1080p then the game will upscale the image.[3] |

| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Settings menu has values 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x. These represent 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x values. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | Up to 8x MSAA, however, the 4x option causes a DirectX initialization error.[4] Nvidia users can follow this guide for better AA. |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | If Vsync is disabled in the game options, it can't be forced by third party software.[3] | ||

- Most graphical settings, including anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing, do not work if Depth of Field and Back Buffer are enabled. However disabling back buffer does have side effect where main menu starts flickering, though is still usable.[5][6][7]
