Despite its animated aesthetic without overly detailed visuals, Wuthering Waves puts a significant strain on your PC’s hardware. Even if your build is well within the specs needed to run the game, choosing the wrong settings can negatively impact performance.

As is often the case with PC gaming, not all settings are created equal. Some tweaks result in huge improvements in visual fidelity, while others inflict a massive performance hit without actually adding much eye candy. Prioritizing the right settings is essential if you want your game to look good and run as smoothly as possible.

Below is a quick overview of which settings have the biggest impact on performance, followed by a specific guide on the best PC settings for Wuthering Waves.

Because there are so many different aspects of a PC’s hardware that impact performance, there is no one-size-fits-all setup that will work best for everyone. Templates can be a good starting point, but understanding the performance impact and function of each setting can make it easy to quickly tweak a setting to your specific build.
