Wuthering Waves is a stunning game and surprisingly well-optimized. That said, we can always fine-tune for a better experience. Here are the best PC settings for Wuthering Waves: Graphics and performance, explained.
How to change settings in Wuthering Waves PC
Before we dive into the settings, let me quickly show you how to get there. Press the Start button on your controller or ESC on the Keyboard to bring up the Terminal Menu. Press the Settings Cog icon in the bottom corner (pictured above) to bring up the Settings Menu.
Here, there’s a list of icons down the left side of the screen where you can change everything from specific audio volumes to graphics settings.
Best settings for Wuthering Waves PC
In my experience, most of the default settings are pretty decent. Kuro Games has done a great job optimizing the visuals, but we can still change a few things. Volume is a personal preference, so I’ll leave you to experiment with those settings. As for Graphics Settings, here’s what I’m using:
- Graphics Quality: Advanced
- Screen Mode: Full Screen
- Brightness: I’ve turned mine down to about 25%
- Frame Rate: 60fps
- Shadow Quality: Ultra High
- LOD Bias: High
- Capsule AO: On
- Volumetric Fog: On
- Volumetric Lighting: Off
- Motion Blur: Off
- NVIDIA DLSS: On
- Super Resolution: Auto
- Sharpening: 0
- V-Sync: Off
- NVIDIA Reflex: On
Most of these are default settings with a couple of critical changes.

First, I’ve slightly turned the brightness down (pictured). Brightness is monitor-dependent, but I prefer how this looks. I’ve turned Motion Blur off. I have no idea why most games have this on by default, and fast movement looks better without it, in my opinion.
I’ve also turned V-Sync off. I recommend keeping this on if you’re experiencing Screen Tear, but it’s OK to keep it off otherwise.
Camera Settings
I’d usually say everything here is a personal preference, but I recommend changing a couple of settings here.
- Camera Shake Intensity: Low
- Regular Camera Distance: 50
- Combat Camera Distance: 50
Camera Shake isn’t the most impactful setting, but I find the camera rattling around doesn’t add to immersion in any way. With this in mind, I’ve turned Camera Shake Intensity to low as you can’t turn it off completely.
Camera Distance is an interesting setting as it governs how far your camera is from the action.
I find 50 to be a happy medium, but you can see the difference between zero and 100 in the pictures above. I may change Camera Distance in the future, but I find 50 works well in combat. If you prefer the Camera to stay close while walking around, you can keep the Regular Camera Distance at zero.
It’s important to pick graphics settings that give you decent visuals while not compromising gameplay. If you’re experiencing stuttering, you can lower the Graphics Quality setting, but other things may help.
