FAQs
Q: What type of controller setup does Effect use?
Effect uses a controller with Linear response curve and no deadzones to ensure smooth aiming and rapid responsiveness.
Q: Why is the aspect ratio 4:3 instead of widescreen?
A stretched 4:3 resolution increases character size and reduces horizontal distraction for some competitive players.
Q: What is NVIDIA Reflex and why is it enabled?
NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency for quicker reactions — helpful in competitive scenarios.
Q: Are high graphics settings important for pro play?
Pros like Effect prioritize performance and clarity over visual detail, so effects and shadows are turned low or disabled for consistency.

Settings don’t replace skill but can provide a solid baseline. Always tweak incrementally and test in the training area for comfort.
