Update graphics quality levels for 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 Pipeline.
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.
