Best XDefiant Graphics Settings for PC
Ubisoft’s brand new First Person Shooter, XDefiant has just dropped. As always with a new title, your graphics settings are extremely important in keeping the game looking great, but not negatively impacting your performance.
However, graphics settings don't just change your FPS, in fact they can be extremely useful in making enemy players easier to see, and therefore increase your K/D ratio in-game. Here’s the best graphics settings for XDefiant on High-End and Low-End PCs that you need to use if you want to level up your game.
Best XDefiant Graphics Settings - High-end PCs
High-end PCs will be able to push their graphics settings more, resulting in the game looking sharper and much better. However, we don’t want to push things too far as we still want the game to run smoothly, and not have a low FPS.
