High FPS settings for Halo Infinite

Games Halo Infinite
1

Here’s the settings I use to get 240+ FPS out of Halo Infinite without losing visual quality…

Nvidia Settings
There’s only a few settings you need to change for Nvidia
Use the advanced 3D image settings
Manage the 3D settings
-OpenGL rendering GPU: Set to your GPU
-Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
-Preferred refresh rate: Highest available
-Texturing filtering quality: High performance
The above settings reset back to default whenever you update the driver

Halo Infinite settings
FOV: 102 (personal preference but higher FOV does tax FPS)
Borderless Fullscreen: Check
Resolution Scale: Set to lowest (this is the most taxing setting, for me it’s set to 53% 2714x763 from a native 5120x1440 resolution)
Min Frame Rate: Off
Max Frame Rate: Unlocked
VSync: Off (Use G-Sync if you’re able to)
Anti-Aliasing: High
Texture Filtering: Ultra
Ambient Occlusion: Medium
Texture Quality: Ultra
Geometry Quality: High
Reflections: Low
Depth of Field: Medium
Shadow Quality: Low
Lighting Quality: Low
Volumetric Fog Quality: Low
Cloud Quality: Low
Dynamic Wind: Off
Ground Cover Quality: Medium
Effects Quality: Low
Decal Quality: Medium
Animation Quality: Auto
Terrain Quality: Medium
Simulation Quality: Ultra
Flocking Quality: Off
Async Compute: Off (you can try toggling this on and off, but usually for Nvidia you’ll get less FPS with this on)
Blur: 0%
Screen Shake: 0%
Exposure: 0%
Speed Lines: Uncheck
Sharpening: 60%

With these settings, I’m getting 240+ fps. Most of the time in the 270fps range but also depending on the map.

My PC specs…
Ryzen 7 5800X (PBO2 enabled) w/Corsair H100i 240mm Elite Capellix
Asus ROG 3080 OC Strix 10GB
MSI B550-A Pro
2x16GB Corsair Pro SL 3600MHz C18 1.35V RAM (Optimized for Ryzen)
WD SN850 2TB (game drive)
Corsair MP400 1TB (OS, files and launchers)
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 - 240Hz 5120x1440p 32:9

Your results may vary but with these settings, I get max FPS with very minimal hit to graphics.

If you try these settings, report back your experience and what your PC specs are, your native resolution is and what the scaled resolution turned out to be.

Saved too bookmark. Thanks!

Or set your min FPS to match what you want for your max FPS depending on your monitor’s hardware. The game will adjust the downscale render for you.

Simply setting the minimum FPS will stabilize it at that refresh rate of your monitor if you leave maximum unlocked.

Animation Quality : Auto

Some people say Max some say Auto but what’s better?

Min frame rate only goes up to 120fps. I know you can edit the game files but still, it’s just using DRS when setting a min frame rate.

I would just set to Auto and let the game handle it.

Thanks for providing this detailed list of your settings! I’m running an i7-11700F, 16GB HyperX RAM, and 3080ti.

I have been running on all Low settings, Min FPS at 82, Max FPS at 165, and I still experience crashes. I even removed the HD Texture Pack. At this point, this will be the last thing I do prior to swapping thermal paste, heatsinks, and fans. All of which should bring my temperatures down in the hopes of improving game performance. I haven’t encountered any issues with other graphics-intensive AAA games; If that doesn’t bring temps down, I’ll case swap. After that, I make peace with my rig and hope it lasts long enough to upgrade or replace.

Are you saying you’re experiencing high temps with Halo? CPU or GPU or both? What’s your temps at? What kind of cooling do you have, case? Nvidia FE card or what?

The limiting factor is the monitor. My monitors refresh rate is 144hz .
I tried your settings and only got 144fps with standard settings as well.

I have an ASUS vg27aql1a with a GEFORCE 2070 Super and an Intel Core I9 9900K

Double check your Nvidia settings. You may have your FPS capped to your monitors refresh rate.

So I reinstalled Halo Infinite the other night. I said what the heck, let me see how it’ll run on my new build with a 4080 Strix (yeah, I know). I applied my original settings and was getting +/- 400fps. Maxed out with 100% resolution scaling and was getting around 150ish FPS with hits of 180ish. I still can’t get over how demanding this game is with little to no graphical generation leap.

One difference I did notice with the Strix 4080 compared to my Strix 3080, I can run a higher OC with the 4080 without the game crashing. Not sure if this was fixed in an update or not, but with the 3080 best I could do (I think) was +80 core +400 mem. Now, I’m able to run +125 core +1200 mem and core clock hits and holds 3015Mhz.

Not sure if there’s much interest, but if there is I can take the time to dial in settings for a 4080.
