Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Best Graphics Settings || Performance OR Fidelity Mode Which One?

best graphical settings in Spider-Man 2 (PS5). what settings to change to get the best gameplay experience Wondering what's best out of Performance or Fidelity mode in Spider-Man 2 then don't worry too much. While there are a few differences the changes are surprisingly minor and I've struggled to really see a huge difference between the two without really looking hard at Spider-Man 2 in action. If you're not sure, or can't tell what's changing, then here's what's going on with Performance or Fidelity mode in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, as well as what you'll get from the VRR mode if you can use it. Spider-Man 2 Performance mode Targets 60 fps Simplified ray tracing Lowered pedestrian and traffic density Hair detail is simplified Performance mode trims back a few features in order to target 60 fps. Specifically simplifying ray tracing, lowering the density of people and cars on screen, and simplifying hair. So ray tracing reflections are very slightly lower res and extend a shorter distance into the world, as well as disappear from some less obviously reflective surfaces close up (like the street light in the opening image). There are differences but you have to really go looking for them. Spider-Man 2 Fidelity mode Targets 30 fps All ray tracing features on, including reflections, water, and window interiors All graphics options set to maximum including pedestrian and traffic density, and hair detail Essentially Fidelity mode offers the best image quality and resolution at the expense of a higher frame rate. Ray tracing extends much further into the world and you can see windows reflecting from miles away. The 'targets 30 fps' is interesting because it doesn't say 'locked' or 'limited' and I really didn't notice a huge difference between this and the Performance mode fps. What is Spider-Man 2 VRR mode VRR or Variable Refresh Rate in Spider-Man 2 is only accessible if you have a HDMI 2.1 VRR compatible TV or monitor. If you don't know what that is, you almost certainly don't have one. To check, head into your PS5 settings, go to Settings, then Screen and Video, and then Video Output. You'll see a VRR option you can toggle between Off and Automatic. If you can use the mode you'll be able to turn this on, otherwise you'll get the message that your 'TV doesn't support VRR'. If you can use VRR then it will dynamically sync your display refresh rate to whatever your PS5 is outputting. This will give you a better overall appearance by smoothing out frame rates, reducing tearing and so on. It also helps reduce input lag. In terms of specifics for Spider-Man 2 there are two VRR options: Smoothed will maintain resolution and target a steady framerate. Uncapped uses lower resolutions to target higher, and more variable frame rates. And that's all of the graphical modes for Spider-Man 2 explained. Realistically, go for what feels or looks best for you. I've not really noticed a big enough difference for me to really say one is better, so I prefer Fidelity for the best possible looking game. But I say that knowing I'm enabling graphical extras I can't really see. If you want a slightly better frame rate you certainly won't miss much by switching to Performance mode, so you do you. #spiderman2 #ps5
