Best XDefiant graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti

XDefiant plays extremely well on the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti. The game is optimized well to run at high framerates on even some modest hardware. Given the latest 60-class GPUs are built to run the latest titles at FHD without major frame drops, the triple-digit framerates these cards are pushing out are no surprise.

You'll have to fine-tune the settings to get the best framerates. The highest graphics options can tank the performance you can expect from the video cards. We have compiled this list of the best video settings to help you get an ideal experience in the latest shooter.
