Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Multi-monitor
Vert- scaling in gameplay and dialogues. HUD spans the screen. Cutscenes and menus are 16:9 pillarboxed.[5]
See Field of view (FOV) to compensate for scaling.
Ultra-widescreen
Gameplay is Vert-; cutscenes are 16:9 pillarboxed.[6]
Increase FOV to compensate for scaling.
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
0 - 100% (60 - 120 Horizontal FOV). Does not apply to dialogues or character creation.[7] See Field of view (FOV) for higher FoV settings.
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
FXAA, Temporal AA, or None.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
See also details on limiting framerate
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the engine page to force native HDR output, or the glossary page for other alternatives.
The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Field of view (FOV)

The in-game options menu allows for FOV settings between 60 and 120, with 80 as the default.
Due to the use of Vert- scaling, the default FOV slider does not have comfortable options for multi-monitor setups.
Adjust the field of view (FOV) manually[5]
  1. Navigate to the Configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open the file GameUserSettings.ini with a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. Find the line [/Game/Blueprints/BP_GameUserSettings.BP_GameUserSettings_C] and add the following line below: FieldOfView=136.67
  4. Save the document and close the editor.

Notes

Changing the field of view in-game will reset the value to 120 or below. However, other settings can be changed without changing the field of view.
136.67 is the equivalent of the default FOV for three 16:9 monitors. Use the WSGF Field of View Calculator to find your preferred field of view and the appropriate number for the display. The default field of view in-game for 16:9 is 80.

Limiting framerate

The game doesn't expose framerate limiting in the graphics settings, but it's doable manually by adding a setting to GameUserSettings.ini under [/Game/Blueprints/BP_GameUserSettings.BP_GameUserSettings_C] section. For example to cap it at 179 fps: 

[/Game/Blueprints/BP_GameUserSettings.BP_GameUserSettings_C]
...
FrameRateLimit=179
