Upscaling from lower res causes severe blur. | | Full Screen | On / Off | None | Borderless window not supported natively. | | VSync | On / Off | Low | Off can cause screen tearing but reduce input lag. | | Anti-Aliasing (AA) | Off / 2x / 4x | Medium | In-game AA is FXAA-like; blurry. 4x smooths edges but softens textures. | | Texture Filtering | 1x to 16x anisotropic | Low | Set to 16x for minimal performance cost. | | Shadows | Low / Medium / High | Low-Medium | High = soft shadows from players/stadium; Low = hard blob shadows. | | Depth of Field | On / Off | Low | Blurs background during cutscenes/replays. Many users disable for clarity. | | Motion Blur | On / Off | Low | Subjective preference – off for competitive play. | pes 2017 graphics settings
