The best Halo Infinite PC settings are designed around maximizing FPS while still keeping the game looking nice and crisp. Halo Infinite is a very pretty game, and with that you should expect some issues like stuttering or frame hitches when on the higher settings unless you have a beast rig. And on top of that, Halo Infinite has been lauded as a state-of-the-art next-gen title, meaning the requirements to run it are quite demanding. But with the right Halo Infinite PC settings, it's possible to achieve steady FPS without too much of a hit to the visual quality of the game. Without further ado, here are the best Halo Infinite PC settings that will help you fix your low FPS issues.

Best Halo Infinite PC Settings: Minimum & Recommended Specs

Before we dive into the best settings list, let's take a look at the minimum and recommended specs to play Halo Infinite on PC.

Halo Infinite Minimum Specs:

OS: Windows 10 RS5 x64
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel i5-4440
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti=
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 50 GB available space

The specs listed above are about the bare minimum that individuals should own if they hope to play Halo Infinite on PC. Rigs that just meet the minimum spec threshold should expect to hit 30 FPS on low graphic settings.

Halo Infinite Reommended Specs:

OS: Windows 10 19H2 x64
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel i7-9700k
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Radeon RX 5700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2070
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 50 GB available space

The recommended Halo Infinite specs are a little hefty, especially considering the GPU shortage currently plaguing the world. Still, any hardware that falls between the minimum and the recommended specs is more than capable of running Halo Infinite at an acceptable FPS.

The settings listed below focus on achieving 60 FPS on a 1080p screen. These Halo Infinite PC settings are designed for low-end systems and users that prioritize FPS over visual quality. 

If your system can pull above 60 FPS with these settings, feel free to mess around with some of them and see if your FPS holds up. If you still can't achieve 60 FPS with these settings, it may be time to upgrade your rig.

The Halo Infinite PC settings listed below are tailored toward high-end systems that at least meet the Halo Infinite recommended specs. But even with a high-end system, we don't really recommend pushing many of your settings past medium. High and Ultra settings can really pull down your FPS, and Halo Infinite is still a beautiful game on low to medium settings.
