Black Desert Mobile (BDO Mobile) is a very popular MMORPG that has millions of downloads that continue to rise each day. And, as it happens, many players wanted me to make a guide on optimizing Black Desert Mobile‘s graphics settings to get the best performance and lag-free gameplay.

So here it is, by popular demand!

To be frank, there are not many things you can do to optimize the game.

That is kind of the main issue with mobile games. So, you can optimize your Android device for gaming to get some more performance boost. And, if you are using LD Player then you can also optimize LD player for gaming.

So without further ado let’s begin:

Black Desert Performance Graphics Settings :

Graphics Upscaling: AMD FSR 1.0

This is a new feature added to black desert Online. Where it uses AMD FSR technology to deliver better graphics upscaling. Now if you have a high-end gaming tablet enable this for better quality and gameplay.

On the low-end devices I tested it didn’t help as much. But on tablets, it made the game smoother so I recommend using this setting only on high-end tablets.

Effects: Low

Set the effects to low. You can get an amazing display with effects settings set to the max. Unfortunately, your game will lag and your mobile device will heat up like an oven.

Resolution: Medium and High

Medium for mobile devices and High for tablets are the best options for resolution. This setting directly impacts the graphics settings and determines your gameplay experience. Choose according to your device specs. Low-end devices should be set on low if they are facing heating issues on medium.

Texture: Medium or High

Either Medium or High are the recommended settings based on how good your phone is. Gaming phones should go with High. It does cause an FPS drop if your device is too low-end. If you are getting heating issues then set it to low. Otherwise average is best.

Only set it to low if your game lags.

Frame Limit: 60 FPS

60 is the max and best option. You need lag-free gameplay which can only be achieved by a constant and stable high FPS.

Effects Settings: 

Twinkle: Off

Turn this off. It creates extra shining effects not needed.

Graphics Upscaling: On

Graphics upscaling works well for medium and high-end devices like tablets and gaming phones. I recommend you use it for medium and high-end systems. Disable for low end phones.

Shake: 0

Disabling the Shake setting will give you a gameplay advantage. Why would you want the extra effects anyway when your phone cannot handle it?

Blur: 0

It’s a given that blur does not help you in any way. So better turn it off. You need the extra FPS for a better gameplay experience.

Yeah, that’s all you can change in the mobile settings. With the combination of optimized mobile settings for gaming and optimized graphics settings for black desert mobile, you’ll be able to enjoy lag-free gameplay.

I hope this guide helped you in playing black desert mobile online without lag. If you have any more suggestions or tricks do let me know in the comment section below.
