Here’s the Best Graphics Mode for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is turning out to be a visual spectacle. While some hardcore gamers have already completed the game, some are just getting started on their journey. As many gamers know, the first thing to do upon getting a game is not to start a new game, but to explore all the options in the settings menu. The preference of game settings varies with each player, but the importance of choosing the right settings to get the best out of the game cannot be understated.

Some games have extensive options in settings that help players fine-tune the experience to their liking. Arguably, the most important setting to tweak for most gamers has to be the graphics settings. While Spider-Man 2 is a graphically rich game, here is how players can get the most out of the game, visually.

How to get stunning visuals in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?

One of the first steps to getting the best experience from the game is to identify the specs of the display. Ideally, players looking for the best experience should use a 120 Hz TV or monitor with VRR support and 4K resolution. This will ensure that players are getting the most out of the game and the PlayStation 5. While this is not mandatory, players used to playing on a 60Hz can also enjoy an aesthetically pleasing game.

Once players get into the graphics settings, it is best to use the Fidelity mode with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) set to Smoothed. Players also need to put the 120 Hz mode on Auto. As many players are used to gaming on 30FPS and 60FPS, Insomniac Studios is trying something different by utilizing the technology behind 120 Hz refresh rates to deliver 40 FPS at 4K resolution.

Although many fans would expect the middle ground to be 45FPS, mathematically 40FPS is more accurate to being the middle point. 60 FPS equates to about 16.67 milliseconds per frame, while 30 FPS results in roughly 33.3 milliseconds between frames. In contrast, 40 FPS has around 25 milliseconds per frame, precisely halfway between 16.67 and 33.3 milliseconds, which explains its perceived closeness to 60 FPS.
