Marvel Rivals PC Settings Guide
Marvel Rivals is built on Unreal Engine 5, and its default global illumination settings are far heavier than a competitive hero shooter needs. A team fight with several ultimates active is where the frame rate collapses, and that is exactly when you need it most.
Turning the Lumen-based lighting options down or off is worth more than every other setting combined, and the visual difference during a fast fight is close to imperceptible.
Settings that matter most
- Global illumination: Low or off. By far the largest cost and the least noticeable in motion.
- Model detail: Keep reasonably high so hero silhouettes stay readable.
- Upscaling: Quality mode buys a lot of headroom for team fights with minimal softening.
Scope and assumptions
Covers live matches on the Unreal Engine 5 build. Team fights with multiple ultimates active are the reference workload.
- • 1080p competitive: Low/Medium with upscaling to hold high frame rates.
- • 1440p: Quality upscaling with Medium global illumination.
- • High refresh: disable the Lumen lighting options entirely.
Troubleshooting checks
- • Global illumination quality is the single biggest cost; turn it down first.
- • Judge settings during a full team fight, not in the practice range.
