# Update graphics quality levels for URP

This page provides recommended URP graphics [Quality Level](xref:class-QualitySettings) 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:

* [Project Settings](#project-settings)
* [URP Asset](#urp-asset)

> **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](./birp-quality-settings-location.md).
