This Marvel Rivals pro settings guide will help you get the best performance out of your PC, regardless of which hero you choose to play. We have collected the settings used by the pros of the game, be it hardware, software, graphics, or sound, you can find them all below. So if you wanted to hit headshots with Mantis like a pro, adjusting your system settings might make it easier.
Marvel Rivals is not all about strategy and team synergy. It also requires individual brilliance, fast reflexes and good crosshair placement. The latter part of the depends a lot on how you choose to run the game on your system. The satisfaction of hitting a quick headshot or seeing the animations of a quick combo can’t be enjoyed if your game consistently lags.
The minimum specs to run Marvel Rivals say that at least a GTX 1060 or RX 580 GPU on an Intel i5 6600K or Ryzen 51600X with 16 GB RAM is needed.
If you wish to challenge the pros, you will need to level up your hardware game with at least an RTX 2060 Super or RX 5700 XT, paired with a Core i5 10400 or Ryzen 5 5600x. You need to have at least 16 GB RAM, but even that might not be enough in some edge cases, especially when all the ults start coming out at the same time. This increases GPU memory usage and results in FPS fluctuations that may ruin your cross-hair and aim.
Oh, and don’t forget good cooling: as a rule, the same GPU with three fans will be a better idea than one with two fans, simply because it’s more stable.
To get rid of this problem, most pros use 32GB RAM. But if you cannot upgrade now, thanks to the current industry-wide RAM outage, at least try moving Marvel Rivals to an SSD. This will help your PC load the maps and new assets faster. For devices like the Steam Deck or the Legion Go, SSDs become even more important to avoid texture lags.

For players who wish to climb up the tiers as fast as possible, the smoothness of the game is more important than how aesthetically pleasing it is. If you play Marvel Rivals at the best graphics but your FPS keeps lagging, then you will keep losing neck-to-neck fights. The advide here is to sacrifice some of the visual beauty to become a better player with these Marvel Rivals display and Graphic settings:
The combo of Full screen and V-Sync off gives the lowest input latency, ensuring stable FPS during fights. You can check the best display settings here:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Display Mode | Full screen |
| Resolution | 1920×1080 or 2560×1440 |
| Refresh Rate | Max available |
| V- Sync | Off |
| FOV | Default (90° on PC) |
Most pros rely on upscalers like DLSS or FSR to improve FPS without sacrificing visual clarity. Quality or Balanced modes offer a strong mix of sharp visuals and stable performance. Performance mode can push FPS higher, but edges may appear softer.
In-game Frame Generation (DLSS 3 / FSR FG) is generally avoided in competitive play, as the synthetic frames add input delay and can negatively impact aim precision and reaction time.
If smooth FPS is all you desire, then these further-tuned graphics settings are for you. Most Marvel Rivals esports players prioritize enemy visibility for better crosshair placements, even if the game feels doesnt’ look as good:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Shadows | Off |
| Effects Quality | Low |
| Post Processing | Off |
| Reflections | Off |
| Anti-Aliasing | Low |
| Texture Quality | Low–Medium |
| Motion Blur | Off |
| NVIDIA | On |
| V-Sync | Off |
| Model Detail | Low |

Now you’ve reached the Marvel Rivals Pro Settings that truly separate casual players from pros, which most beginners ignore. While the differences are not very large, they are significant enough to execute that one quick take-out combo. Here are the best input settings from the pro Marvel Rivals players:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Mouse Acceleration | Off |
| DPI | 800-1600 (varies from role to role) |
| Raw Input | On |
| ADS Sens Multiplier | 1.0 |
| Scoped Sens | 0.9–1.0 |
| Controller Aim Assist | Off (PC) |
Now, let’s get into a detailed breakdown of the input settings for specific Marvel Rivals Heroes Roles. Most Marvel Rivals Pros like Shroud, TenZ, Hqrdest, and Linepro use relatively low DPI and low sensitivity, and a white crosshair to dominate the matches with the damage dealers (duelists). Here are some examples of the best players:
| Player | DPI | In-Game Sens | eDPI | Crosshair Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shroud (NA) | 1600 | 1.00 | 1600 | Small white cross |
| TenZ (NA) | 1600 | 0.48 | 768 | White dot |
| Hqrdest (EU) | 1600 | 1.26 | 2016 | White cross |
| Linepro (EU) | 800 | 1.56 | 1248 | White dot |

Since strategists are the healers of the team and are required for clout control during ganks, most pros use it with the highest eDPI (2800-3000) to reduce reaction time, which improves their visibility during combination fights. Running this setting also helps in fast target switching. Here are the settings of one of the top strategists:
The vanguards don’t require you to take pinpoint shots, but mostly require in-game awareness. Hence, you can run basic DPI (800–1600) with in-game sensitivity between 2 and 3.5 and eDPI between 2000-2800 to anchor your team. You can check out these best Marvel Rivals streamers currently dominating the scene to understand more about pro setups.
Audio is not just a means to give you an immersive Marvel Rivals experience, but it also helps your decision-making in an intense situation:
Here is the detailed breakdown of the audio settings you should use
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Master Volume | 100% |
| Effects Volume | 90–100% |
| Music Volume | 0–10% |
| Voice Chat | 70–80% |
| Dynamic Range | High |
A lot of times, the FPS drops you face may be a system issue rather than a game problem, hence you can perform these outside the game settings. Keep the GPU software updated and use the most stable one. You can turn on Nvidia Reflex and disable all background apps. Also consider keeping the Windows Game mode on to improve performance and optimise your system to run Marvel Rivals.
