Vortex Gaming

• ✅ Using stretched resolution can make player models appear slightly wider, which can help with aiming.
• ✅ It can improve FPS on some systems, making it useful for low-end or mid-range PCs.
• ✅ The currently recommended stretched resolution is 1720x1080.
• ⚠️ Stretching too much, like with 1550x1080, can negatively impact your field of view (FOV).
• ⚠️ Too much pixelation, like with 800x600, can make the game UI unreadable.

The best stretched resolution for Chapter 7 is 1720x1080.

• ✅ Window Mode: Use Fullscreen for the lowest input delay.
• ✅ Vertical Sync: It's best to turn this off as it adds input delay.
• ✅ Frame Rate Limit: It's best to match this to your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 240fps for a 240Hz monitor).
• ✅ Rendering Mode: Always set this to Performance Mode.
• ✅ DirectX Version: Choose either DX11 or DX12, whichever provides better performance and stability for your PC specs.
• ✅ View Distance and Textures: Set these to the lowest possible settings to increase FPS.
• ✅ Mesh Quality: Set this to low to increase FPS.
• ✅ NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: If your PC specs are decent, try using 'On' or 'On + Boost'. If you have a lower-end PC, it's best to turn this off completely.
