Best graphics settings for System Shock
System Shock features DLSS and HDR support. we recommend leaving DLSS on (automatically enabled) although it isn’t essential for anyone with a fairly recent PC. As mentioned, the best settings for System Shock is to run it on ultra:
If you are running on a low-powered system you want to ensure you change the display settings to “Fullscreen” as windowed can sometimes perform slightly. We recommend playing in native resolution also, however, if you are getting any performance issues you can lower the resolution to increase your FPS.
