Spectre Divide has an incredibly short time to kill and demands lighting-quick reflexes to play. So, if you’re dropping frames, missing targets, and enduring low visibility, it’s essential you change your settings in Spectre Divide so they work best for you. There have been a number of issues arising for the game, but there is usually a simple fix.
Luckily, Spectre Divide isn’t particularly demanding as games go, so even if you’re running an older PC, you should still be able to hold your own in the fight. However, there are a few settings that will not only make the game run a lot smoother but also make enemies more visible and your crosshair clearer. Peep these Spectre Divide settings.

Graphics and visibility settings
The graphics settings in Spectre Divide are satisfyingly simple and shouldn’t require too much tweaking. As I said, it runs smoothly. But take a look and see what you can change.
- Display Mode – Fullscreen
- Resolution – Match your monitor.
- Brightness – 1
- Contrast – 1
- Frame Rate Limit – Match your monitor.
- V-Sync – Off unless you have a V-Sync-enabled monitor.
- Render Scaling – Max
- Textures – Low
- Effects – Low
- Post Processing – Low
- Reflex Enabled – On
- DLSS Enabled – On
- Super Resolution Mode – Balanced
You may be wondering why the textures, effects, and PP are set to low. The Spectre Divide graphics are already pretty cartoony, and honestly, the difference from jacking them up just doesn’t justify the drop in FPS. I recommend keeping them low and pulling performance out of the game instead.
Best custom crosshairs in Spectre Divide
Switching up your crosshair settings may seem like a small change to Spectre Divide, but you would be surprised how much they improve accuracy and gameplay. As with most visual settings, these are down to personal preference, but these are the ones I play with.
- ADS/Centre Dot
- ADS Colour – Cyan or Yellow
- ADS Opacity – 1
- ADS Thickness – 2
- ADS Outline – On
- ADS Outline Opacity – 1
- ADS Outline Thickness – 1
- Hipfire
- Color – White
- Outlines – On
- Outline Thickness – 1
- Centre Dot – On
- Copy ADS Centre Dot Settings – On
- Hipfire Inner Lines
- Inner Line Opacity – 1
- Inner Line Length – 4
- Inner Line Thickness – 2
- Inner Line Offset – 0
- Show Firing Accuracy – On

- Sniper Dot Opacity – 1

Control and sensitivity settings
I found I needed to change up my controls just slightly while playing Spectre Divide. For me, just a few of the key binds are a little clunky. The ones changed from default are listed below.
Keybinds
- Equip Duality Puck – Mouse Button 5
- Duality Swap – Q
- Toggle Zoom – ALT
- Primary Equipment – E
- Secondary Equipment – C
- Tertiary Equipement – X
These Spectre Divide settings allow me to use the Duality abilities much more fluidly. Reaching for the original buttons was just a little unintuitive. However, I didn’t want to lose the close primary equipment use, so I simply switched it to the other side of WASD. Also, having Zoom Toggle on button five is just a weird choice; get it close to your movement hands.
General and sensitivity
When it comes to sensitivity, there is a rule of thumb. With the movement of the mouse of about 30 CM, you should be able to do a full 360 on the screen. How you have the DPS set will determine just how sensitive this is in game. I play with my mouse at about 800 DPI, so these settings work for me in Spectre Divide.
- Mouse Sensitivity – 0.43
- ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier – 1
- Invert Y Axis – No
- 4k/8k – Only have this turned on if your mouse supports this.
- ADS Recoil Behaviour – Centred
- ADS Tracer Display – Every Bullet
- ADS Traver Visibility – 0.45
- Optic Hit Confirm – On
- Minimap Rotation – On
- Centre Minimap on Player – On
- Minimap Size – 1.2
- Minimap Scale – 1
- Minimap Shape – Square
- Minimap Background – Standard
These settings should leave you in the best possible stead for playing Spectre Divide. If you’re still struggling with FPS drops or lag, you may need to upgrade your PC with something like the 40 series Nvidia card. The investment is worth it, trust me.
