Free-to-play football title GOALS is now out on PC and consoles, and we can tweak a fair bit of settings to get the best visual performance. This game, by far, has the easiest system requirements compared to all football games on the market. However, you’ll still want to avoid stutters and lag to avoid conceding cheap goals (and score on the other end instead).
Best GOALS graphics settings
Before I dive deep into the settings, here’s my current set of specifications.
- AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
- AMD Ryzen 9060 XT 16 GB
- 32 GB of DDR4 RAM
I have also installed the game on my SSD since that’s recommended. Let’s find out the best set of settings to run.
- VSync: Off (Since I don’t have problems running this game relative to my hardware, I have kept this off. Turning this on might limit the FPS, but it will result in smoother graphics).
- Rendering Quality: Medium (It’s a nice sweet spot that doesn’t give up too much in terms of graphics, but you also get smooth gameplay).
- Anti Aliasing: FSR/FXAA (There isn’t any native DLSS support yet. If you’re on an Nvidia device, it’s best to use FXAA if you want to get more frames. If you’re on an AMD device like me, FSR is your best bet).
- Resolution Scale: Quality (Performance if you encounter lag).
- Frame Generation: Off (Turn it on if the performance is poor).
- Latency Reduction: On
- Thermal Mode: Temperature (This mode automatically prevents throttling if your hardware is running the game poorly).
- Color Blind Mode: Personal preference
The performance of GOALS so far has been pretty smooth on PC. I have barely encountered any lag, and stutters have been largely a result of internet issues. However, several PC users are currently unable to complete the installation process on Steam. If you’re also among them, you can try out this fix until the developers provide a permanent solution.
