Mecha Break: Best Settings Guide | Optimization

Mecha Break is a fast-paced competitive multiplayer game, so it’s highly recommended to use the best settings possible for optimization. The smoother your game runs and handles, the better you can react to other players’ actions. Don’t want to get stutters and framerate drops in a crucial moment or foes will break your mecha! In this guide, we’ll give you our recommended performance-oriented settings.

Best Settings for Optimization | Mecha Break

General Display Settings

First off, let’s go over the general display settings. These aren’t really going to make or break the optimization in Mecha Break, but using the best settings here should help you get a smoother-feeling game. Here’s our recommendations:

• Display Mode – Fullscreen. Provides the least input lag.
• Vertical Sync – Off. Again, this is just to minimize input lag. If you get an annoying amount of screen tearing, though, turn it on.
• Frame Rate Limit (In Match) – Unlimited. Alternatively, set it to match your monitor’s refresh rate.
• Frame Rate Limit (Outside Match) – 60. You don’t need high framerates outside a match, so 60 strikes a decent balance between smoothness and power consumption.
• Graphics API – DirectX 11 for most GPUs. DirectX 12 is only usable if your GPU is an RTX 4070 Super with 16 GB of RAM or equivalent. The only benefits of DirectX 12 are Frame Generation and FSR4, though most users report better performance with DirectX 11 nonetheless.

Graphics Settings

Next up is the big one, the full graphics settings! Here are our recommendations for all key settings:

• Super Resolution – Use FSR (any GPU) or DLSS (NVIDIA-only).
• Super-Resolution Quality – Set it to either Automatic or Quality mode. Automatic might provide worse visuals at times, but it will have better performance than Quality.
• Frame Generation – Off. In most cases, this just adds some unwanted input lag. Only enable it if you can already run the game comfortably at 60 FPS and higher.
• Rendering Quality – Medium or Low.
• Texture – Medium. If your GPU has 8GBs of VRAM or more, you can use High instead.
• Depth of Field – Off. Mostly worth disabling so that distant objects are clearer, but it has a low performance impact.
• Interface Soft Lighting – Off.
• Global Illumination – Low.
• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) – Off. Very minor graphical improvement in this type of game but very costly performance-wise.
• Screen Space Reflection – Off. Like SSAO, it’s a minor visual improvement but decently costly performance-wise.

• Volumetric Fog – Off. This is one of the most impactful settings for performance!
• Scene Interactions – Off.
• Weather Effects – Medium. Not very performance-heavy, so the balanced option is best here.
• Virtual Geometry Precision – Medium.
• Terrain Precision – Medium.
• Vegetation Precision – Low.
• Special Effects Quality (Self / Others) – Set both to either Low or Medium.
• Special Effects Precision – Low.
• Streamed Texture Quality – Standard. High is only recommended if you have a lot of VRAM headroom.
• Motion Blur – Off. Minimal performance impact, but turning it off improves clarity.
• Radial Blur – Off. Similar to the previous option, low performance impact but you want it off for clarity.

That’s all of our recommended best settings for performance optimization in Mecha Break. Use them as a base and you should get much smoother framerates! If you’re just starting out in the game, we also recommend checking out our ultimate beginner’s guide for more tips.
