Best Settings for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for PC

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers many settings for players to customize to fine-tune the performance by adjusting visuals. The video settings are divided into smaller sections, making it easier for players to identify each setting to tweak.

As a side note, these best settings will focus on keeping a balance between visuals and performance.

Settings Type	Setting Name	Preset	Note
Screen Setup	Display Mode	Fullscreen	Players can also use the Borderless Windowed option to make minimizing and refocusing the game easier.
	Monitor	Primary display monitor	–
	Aspect Ratio	According to display	This will usually be either 16:9 or 16:10 for standard monitors. Players with ultrawide monitors will need to select 21:9.
	Resolution	Native	Always use the native resolution to avoid graphics looking blurry.
Graphics Settings	Picture Framing	Fullscreen	The Picture Framing option is separate from display mode as it decides whether cinematic black bars show up or the image fills up the screen.
	Field of View	90	Having too little FOV will take the immersion out of the game, but increasing FOV to maximum levels will degrade performance. 90 is a sweet spot for the FOV slider.
	Vertical Sync	Off	Avoid turning on V-Sync to avoid input lag in the game.
	FPS Limit	Native	There’s no unlimited option technically, so it’s best to save your resources and select the maximum refresh rate of your display here.
	Motion Blur	Off	Although it’s a personal preference, turning off motion blur is recommended.
	Chromatic Aberration	On
	Sharpening	Personal Preference	If the game feels too blurry, increase the sliders with increments of 5. Anywhere between 35-50 is a sweet spot for sharpening.
	Film Grain	Off	Film Grain ruins visual quality, best leave it disabled.
	Depth of Field	On
	Depth of Field Anti-Aliasing	On
Graphics Quality	Overall Graphics Quality	Custom	We’ll fine-tune all the graphics settings, so no need to use a pre-determined graphical preset.
	Texture Pool Size	Medium	This is by far the most taxing setting, as if the game doesn’t detect enough VRAM, it will plummet the in-game FPS to 5. Players who have 8GB VRAM can use low to medium here.
	Shadow Quality	Medium	The majority of The Great Circle takes place outdoors, with shadows rendering all the time. Best to keep them at medium to avoid a huge tax on performance.
	Decal Rendering Distance	High	The best option is to avoid texture pop-ins.
	Global Illumination Quality	Medium	–
	Reflections Quality	Medium	One of the most taxing graphics quality settings in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
	Motion Blur Quality	Low	We already disabled motion blur, so this setting doesn’t matter.
	Water Quality	High	–
	Volumetrics Quality	Medium	–
	Hair Quality	High	–
	Texture Anisotropic Filtering Quality	Ultra	–
Advanced Video Settings	Upscaling	DLSS	There isn’t any FSR option available, even on PCs with AMD GPU at the time of writing this guide. Hopefully, it gets added in post-launch.
Advanced Video Settings	DLSS Super Resolution	Quality	–

Make sure to restart the game after applying the new graphics settings. This allows the new settings to properly apply in the game.

The game’s currently well-optimized, except for the Texture Pool Size setting, which heavily impacts FPS (not sure if that’s intended). The game will get further optimized with post-launch performance patches, so you can expect to raise a few settings after that happens.
