Find Built-In Render Pipeline quality settings in URP

Convert quality settings from the Built-In Render Pipeline to URP

This page provides recommended URP graphics Quality Level settings for Low and High quality level values. These settings approximately match the performance of the equivalent Low and High default presets in the Built-In Render PipelineA series of operations that take the contents of a Scene, and displays them on a screen. Unity lets you choose from pre-built render pipelines, or write your own. More info

.

URP changes the implementation of many features and settings, and as a result they often have a different performance impact to the Built-In Render Pipeline equivalent. When you upgrade a project from the Built-In Render Pipeline to URP, your existing quality levels might provide a different level of performance, and you might need to update or create new quality levels for your project. You can use the values on this page as a starting point.

This page is split into the following sections:

Note: In URP, many quality level settings have moved from the Project Settings window to the URP Asset. For more information on where to find these settings in URP projects, refer to Built-In Render Pipeline Quality Settings Reference.

Project Settings

You can change the following settings in Project Settings under Project Settings > Quality.

Setting “Low” preset value “High” preset value
Rendering
Real-time Reflection ProbesA rendering component that captures a spherical view of its surroundings in all directions, rather like a camera. The captured image is then stored as a Cubemap that can be used by objects with reflective materials. More info

No Yes
Resolution Scaling Fixed DPI Factor 1 1
VSyncVertical synchronization (VSync) is a display setting that caps a game’s frame rate to match the refresh rate of a monitor, to prevent image tearing.

TerrainThe landscape in your scene. A Terrain GameObject adds a large flat plane to your scene and you can use the Terrain’s Inspector window to create a detailed landscape. More info

Face CameraA component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. More info
