Best digital vibrance settings by game

Updated · PixelForge team

Pro players have used high digital vibrance for years because enemies stand out more. The right value depends on the game. Here are tested starting points for the most played shooters.

How to read these values

Values are given as NVIDIA digital vibrance (default 50%) and AMD saturation (default 100). Intel saturation sliders use similar steps to AMD. Start at the low end and raise it until skin tones start to look orange, then go back one step.

Counter-Strike 2

65 to 80% NVIDIA, 130 to 150 AMD. CS2 maps are mostly beige and grey, so player models gain a lot. Many CS players also play stretched 4:3, which PixelForge can switch for you and undo safely.

Valorant

60 to 70% NVIDIA, 120 to 135 AMD. Valorant is already colorful, so too much makes abilities hard to read. Pair it with the in-game enemy highlight color.

Fortnite

55 to 65% NVIDIA, 110 to 125 AMD. Fortnite is very saturated already. A small boost is enough.

Apex Legends

65 to 75% NVIDIA, 125 to 140 AMD. Helps on brown maps such as Kings Canyon and in smoke.

Rust

65 to 80% NVIDIA, 130 to 150 AMD, but it really depends on the area. Read the full Rust guide and the night guide.

Switching values per game

Driver vibrance is one value for everything. If you play more than one of these games you either live with the wrong value or keep opening the driver panel. PixelForge stores a profile per game and switches when the game opens. It works on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. See vibrance on AMD and Intel.

Questions

What digital vibrance do pros use?

Many competitive players use 65% to 80% NVIDIA digital vibrance, the same as about 130 to 150 saturation on AMD. The best value depends on the game and the monitor.

Is high digital vibrance bannable?

No. Digital vibrance is a graphics driver setting and does not touch the game.

What is the best vibrance for CS2?

Start at 65% to 80% NVIDIA digital vibrance, or 130 to 150 AMD saturation. CS2 maps are beige and grey, so player models gain a lot of contrast.

Is it safe?

PixelForge does not inject into games, touch game files or read game memory. It only changes how your screen looks and draws overlays. No tool can promise what every anti-cheat or server admin will accept, and some Rust servers ban external zoom tools, so check the rules and leave those features off if you are not sure.
