The best graphics settings for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

This is the graphics menu available in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League which highlights your monitor, resolution, quality presets, and then offerings upscaling methods. Fortunately, the game supports both DLSS and FSR so you’re covered whether you’re using one of the best GPUs by Nvidia or one of the best AMD graphics cards, too. We recommend using DLSS regardless of target resolution to keep to 60fps minimum, however, if you’re aiming for 120fps, you will need a high-end video card like the RTX 4080 or above.

Nvidia DLSS has an Auto setting by default, however, you can custom tailor to the intensity if your rig needs a bit of extra help. There’s also Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance to pick from. Generally speaking, the more intensive you go, the lower the native resolution will be before the game outputs in the target resolution of choice. It’s similar with AMD FSR, too. You can pick between Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has ray tracing, although, its implementation isn’t too deeply explained in the general settings menu. It’s simply a toggle between off and on which promises ray traced shadows, lighting, and reflections. The game warns you before enabling this feature explaining it’s “expensive” and you’ll need a system restart before it takes effect. If you want the best possible performance out of the game then we recommend disabling ray tracing in favor of higher framerates just to squeeze as many fps as possible.

High texture quality and volumetric fog quality are likely to be a bit of a drain on your computer’s resources as well as shadow quality, too. Scaling these down should help to make things more consistent, and will be less noticeable given the fast-paced nature of the game, considering for 99% of the experience you’ll be running around shooting Brainiac’s minions and leaping over buildings to stop and smell the roses.

Scroll past the graphics options and you’ll find more general video options to contend with. As standard, the game will switch on camera shake to full, enable motion blur, lens flare, bloom, and chromatic aberration, with film grain scaled halfway. If you’re struggling with random framerate drops or stuttering then we urge you to consider turning off these features. Motion blur can be especially hardware taxing, with the excess lighting options and filters chewing through your average fps, too.

In a fast paced action game like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, you will want consistent performance, especially considering that the game uses Denuvo DRM and is an always online game which requires a constant internet connection. We’re running a high-end RTX 4090 setup, but that’s not going to be the case for everyone. If you’re targeting 4K especially, then you should be smart with these sliders as mentioned above.

It’s also a good idea to disable V-Sync as well. While helpful at avoiding screen tearing, it can affect performance. If you’re using one of the best gaming monitors or one of the best 1440p gaming monitors with a high refresh rate such as 144Hz or above, that tend to feature AMD FreeSync Premium or Nvidia G-Sync support, then you shouldn’t need the regulation through software.
