The best settings are not just the lowest preset. You want clean visibility, stable frame times, and enough headroom for desert fights, smoke, mounted weapons, and other players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the baseline below, then tune one or two settings at a time. SAND is still being optimized during Early Access, so treat this as a strong launch-period setup rather than a forever config.<\/p>\n<style>\n.sand-top-cta,.sand-top-cta

Keep the image readable and cut the waste.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use native resolution with DLSS\/upscaling on Quality if the option is available.<\/li>\n<li>Keep textures at High if VRAM usage is safe; drop to Medium if hitches appear.<\/li>\n<li>Use Medium geometry and materials, Low shadows, Low sky, Low fog, Medium ambient occlusion, and Low or Medium global illumination.<\/li>\n<li>Set one FPS cap: 120 for high-refresh play if stable, 90 if dips are common, or a below-refresh VRR cap for smoother tear-free play.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off motion blur, bloom, film grain, and chromatic aberration for clearer target tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low-end PC settings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steam lists the minimum GPU around GTX 1650, RX 570, or Intel Arc A380, with 16 GB RAM. That is playable territory, not \u201cmax settings\u201d territory. Aim for a stable 60 if possible, or a stable 45\/30 if your PC cannot hold 60 during raids.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set the graphics preset to Custom, then start with Low across heavy settings.<\/li>\n<li>Use Medium textures only if VRAM is not filling up. If the game hitches while moving, lower textures.<\/li>\n<li>Turn Volumetric Fog Off or Low, Shadows Low\/Off, Global Illumination Off\/Low, and Post Processing Low.<\/li>\n<li>Use upscaling on Balanced or Performance only when Quality cannot hold the target FPS.<\/li>\n<li>Cap to 60, 45, or 30 instead of letting the game swing wildly between peaks and drops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ROG Ally and handheld settings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Handheld PCs need a different target. ROG Ally Life reported SAND playable on an Ally-class device through the DX12 version, with random dips still present and CPU-bound behavior in their testing. Since SAND currently leans hard on PC controls and Early Access optimization, prioritize consistency over headline FPS.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use 720p or 900p before forcing 1080p.<\/li>\n<li>Set a 30, 40, or 45 FPS cap depending on your power mode.<\/li>\n<li>Use Low shadows, Low\/Off fog, Low global illumination, Low post-processing, and Medium\/Low textures depending on VRAM allocation.<\/li>\n<li>Use Steam Input or a community layout if controller support is not working cleanly on your build.<\/li>\n<li>Keep expectations sane: a stable capped experience is better than an uncapped graph that spikes and collapses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best FPS cap and V-Sync setup<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use one limiter.

Recommended jumps to Windows 11, a newer Core i5 13th Gen or Ryzen 5 7000 Series CPU, 32 GB RAM, and RTX 3080\/RX 6800 XT class graphics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gap matters. If your PC is near minimum, build around stable 30-60 FPS. If you are near recommended, aim for 90-120 only after you have enough headroom in heavy scenes. Average FPS is not smoothness; a steadier frame-time line usually feels better than a bigger number that collapses when a raid gets busy.<\/p>\n<p><script>function sandReady(fn){if(document.readyState==='loading'){document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',fn)}else{fn()}}sandReady(function(){var loadouts={balanced:{badge:'Balanced',title:'Stable 60-90 FPS baseline',copy:'Keep native resolution, use Quality or Balanced upscaling if needed, then cut fog, shadows, global illumination, and post-processing first.',items:['Volumetric Fog: Low or Off','Shadows: Low or Medium','Motion Blur\/Bloom\/Film Grain: Off'],warning:'Do not drop render distance first unless the game is still unstable after heavier effects are lowered.'},low:{badge:'Low-end',title:'Aim for a locked 45-60 before chasing visuals',copy:'Use Low heavy effects, Medium or Low textures based on VRAM, Balanced or Performance upscaling, and a cap the PC can hold during raids.',items:['Fog and Global Illumination: Off or Low','Textures: Medium if VRAM is safe, otherwise Low','FPS cap: 45 or 60 if stable'],warning:'Avoid fake FPS packs and risky priority tweaks.
