Bodycam is a one-of-a-kind game that offers an immersive gaming experience and is often called the most realistic shooter ever made by its community. While the game is supposed to be played on a high-end device for the best feel, you should still adjust the graphics settings to increase the FPS, and here’s how.
Optimized settings for higher FPS in Bodycam
Frames per second is a crucial parameter in video games, especially in multiplayer first-person shooters. The smoother your game runs, the better you will perform in matches. Bodycam has a number of graphics settings that you can adjust to increase your FPS, but let me share the best display settings first.
Best screen settings to boost FPS in Bodycam
| Windowed Mode | Full screen |
| Image format | Any |
| Screen resolution | Any |
| Screen resolution | The resolution of your monitor |
| shine | 100 (or change as per personal preference) |
| Lock FPS | Unlocked |
| VSync | Off |
The display settings ensure that you get the best possible resolution and quality out of the game depending on the specifications of your monitor, so it is necessary to play. full screen mode and yours monitor’s native resolution, be it 1920×1080, 2560×1440 or higher. More importantly, the FPS should not be locked and VSync disabled so the game doesn’t limit the frame rate output of your GPU and so no input lag is introduced (you really don’t want that in a shooter).
Best graphics settings to boost FPS in Bodycam
There aren’t many settings that affect the frame rate, but I tested them all; you can follow the settings provided below to increase FPS (explanation with comparison will come later).
| AMD FS3 (FPS Boost) | Balanced |
| AMD FSR3 Frame Generation (FPS Boost) | On (Performance) |
| Global Enlightenment | Low |
| Anti Aliasing Quality | Epic |
| View Distance | medium |
| Textures | Epic (reduce this if you’re low on VRAM) |
| Shadows | medium |
| Effects | medium |
| Reflections | medium |
| Foliage | Low (less dense bushes help you see a target better) |
| Shading Quality | medium |
| Post processing | medium |
| grain | Off |
| sharpness | Medium (improves visibility and clarity) |
| Motion blur | Off |
Just copy these settings and you should get a significant amount of FPS if you played on the default settings. Most of these settings don’t have a noticeable effect on frame rate, but I’ve gone into detail about the ones that do below. My computer specs that the settings were tested on are:
- OS: Windows 11
- cpu: Intel i7-12700K
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
- RAM: 16 GB

On the default settings, my game generated a consistent 53 FPS on the Worn House map (first image). The default setting had all settings raised to Epic. First and foremost, I changed the AMD FS3 fixing to Balanced get 10 frames (second image).
Below are the results produced by the different AMD FS3 settings, but I only recommend Balanced, because the higher options significantly degrade the graphics quality, lowering the gaming experience.
- Off: 53 FPS
- Quality: 70 FPS
- Balanced: 72 FPS (Recommended)
- Activity: 75 FPS
- Ultra Performance: 80 FPS
Now, the second most important setting in Bodycam: AMD FSR3 Frame Generation should be turned On. This setting along with FS3 Balanced immediately took my FPS to 132 (third image). The quality drop is so small compared to the FPS gain that I suggest everyone have these settings enabled.

The rest of the settings do not have that much effect on the frame rate except Global Enlightenment. Although it has four options, only Low and Epic are available, and Low gave me a 10 FPS jump. Also note Textures; I didn’t see any measurable difference between Low and Epic because this setting depends on the GPU’s VRAM, and mine has a massive 16 GB of it. If your graphics card has less than 8 GB of VRAM, you can try lowering this setting. Set the other graphics settings to low or medium and you’ll be good to go.
While Bodycam delivers an ultra-realistic military shooter, you may also be familiar with Call of Duty, which is more of an arcade-style game. If you like it, check out our article Warzone has a problem with gun bloat and ‘Carry Forward’ doesn’t help.
