1) Best Graphics Settings for STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order

You can skip this step if you don’t want to change graphics settings. These High Performance graphics settings are for PCs which close to the minimum system requirements.

If you have a good PC, you can increase the settings slightly.

Go to in-game graphics options and make sure the settings are as follows.

Settings > Visuals

Motion Blur	Off
Film Grain	Off
Chromatic Aberration	Off
Camera Shake	Off

In STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order, the main settings that impact performance are Shadow Quality, Visual Effects, and Post Processing. I recommend that you set these settings to lowest. Medium is the lowest option.

Settings > Video

	High Performance	Performance
Window Mode	Fullscreen	Fullscreen
VSync	Off	Off
Dynamic Resolution Scaling	On	Off
Graphics Quality	Custom	Custom
View Distance	Medium	Medium
Shadow Quality	Medium	Medium
Anti-Aliasing	Medium	High
Texture Quality	Medium	Epic
Visual Effects	Medium	Medium
Post Processing	Medium	Medium

Apply changes and Exit the game.

If you encounter screen tearing problem during the gameplay, you should enable the VSync. If you have a monitor with G-SYNC or FreeSync, you can activate them instead of Vsync.

By the way, if you set the Dynamic Resolution Scaling to on allows to increase your FPS but the graphics may be blurry in the game.
