Field of view (FOV)
Windowed
Set in the configuration tool.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Anti-aliasing (AA)
MSAA, not available in windowed mode. SGSSAA available on Nvidia systems with flag 0x000000C1. Could also try 0x000020C1 (stops flickering of bloom and depth of field) or 0x000100C1 (improves quality at the cost of sharpness). The AA Fix can also improve sharpness. Could also enhance builtin MSAA at a lower performance cost but lower quality; still requires the fist flag or else shadows will disappear.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS
120+ FPS
Noticible gameplay glitches - FPS affects prop physics (including throwable objects) and often makes it impossible to shoot guns during last stand. See cap the frame rate at 60 FPS.
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.
HBAO available with flag 0x00000004.

  2. Check Override SLI.
  3. Check Enable SLI.
