Scarlet Nexus is a ray of hope in a time where many anticipated games are not doing well. I will not mention the specific names, but you can figure it out by the market. In this specific post, I will be discussing the best graphics settings to play this game in.
Your hardware specs may differ from mine so make sure you cross-reference that. Also, make sure you meet the minimum system specs for the game.

Graphics Settings
| Resolution | 1920×1080 |
| Window Mode | Borderless Windowed |
| Framerate | Not Fixed |
| Anti-Aliasing | TXAA |
| Vertical Sync | Off |
| Texture Quality | Mid |
| Shadow Quality | High |
| Post Processing Quality | High |
Here is an illustrative image for the above setting, in-game:
The Resolution should be native to this game. Anti-Aliasing is kept TXAA to smoothen out any jagged edges. To uncap the frames, Framerates are set to Not Fixed.
I personally ALT-TAB frequently and if you do the same, I would suggest you put the game to fullscreen windowed to reduce CPU Load. If you have a powerful CPU then this should be fine with Fullscreen Only.
Since this is a visually pleasing game and you would need some of that while playing, keep the shadows at high. This is optional and you can reduce this one as well. Post Processing is less significant on the GPU, so keep this at high. You should be good to go with these settings.
My System Specs Used To Test
For CPU, I used an I3 8100. I went with a GTX 750TI for the GPU aspect. That is because as per the statistics, the majority of the players still use 1050TIs and 750s to run their games.
I used an HDD with a capacity of 1TB and an RPM of 7200. Windows 10 (64Bit) was my choice of operating system to test this game. I have a rig with 32 Gigs of RAM so I tend to use that for most of my tests.
If I use anything else, I will mention it separately. The game was tested for 60FPS at 1080p as an entry-level benchmark.
Results and Conclusion
| GPU Usage | 100% @1160 MHz |
| VRAM Usage | 1520 MB @2650MHz |
| CPU Usage | 32% @4080MHz |
| Average Framerate | 43-47FPS |
| RAM Usage | ~ 5300 MB |
As you can see from the above results, the game ran its best at 45-47FPS at the above settings. For a card like 750TI, this is decent performance since I managed to churn out all the power from the card, which is evident from the GPU Usage of 100%.
You can expect better performance if you upgrade the card or the CPU or both. I did not have any issues playing the game at the above performance and framerates. If by chance, you are running an even older system, your best bet is to dial down the shadows all the way down and play at 720p rather than 1080p.
