Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoverse’s latest action RPG Gacha game that die-hard fans were waiting for. With the game’s vibrant cast of characters and fun combat mechanics, ZZZ’s performance will be a big factor in winning battles. To help you get the best performance on your PC, we’ve come up with this Zenless Zone Zero best settings guide.
Best Graphics Settings for Zenless Zone Zero
All our suggestions for the graphics settings for Zenless Zone Zero will focus on maintaining a balance between visuals and performance. First, let’s go over all of the ZZZ best graphics settings suggestions:
- Image Quality: Custom
- Display Mode: Native Resolution/Fullscreen
- FPS: Unlimited
- Vertical Sync: Disable (turning it on will increase input latency)
- Rendering: 1.0 (100% scale for the native resolution)
- Shadows: Low
- FX Quality: High
- Shading Quality: High
- Character Quality: High
- Anti-Aliasing: TAA
- Mirror Reflections: Disable
- Volumetric Fog: High
- Bloom: Enable
- Depth of Field: Disable
- Motion Blur: Enable
- Distortion: Enable
- Color Filter Strength: Personal Preference
I’ve tested the settings above on my PC with an Intel i7-11800H CPU, RTX 3070 GPU, and 32GB RAM. I was getting constant 80-90 FPS on these settings with seldom dips to 40 FPS region on a populated area.
The most taxing out of all the Zenless Zone Zero settings are the Mirror Reflections, Shadows, and Rendering. They put a major strain on your GPU and cut down FPS by almost 30-35%.
Although I recommend you keep Rendering at max as anything lower makes textures blurry. However, Mirror Reflections and Shadows should be kept at a minimum if not disabled. There’s a slight noticeable change in visuals but it’s worth it due to the amount of performance you’re getting in exchange.
Other settings are mostly for aesthetics or the game’s functionality so they can be adjusted according to your preference and performance target.
