Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though vanilla Skyrim already runs fast on modest hardware.
Volumetric (God) RaysOff+12% FPS
Sunbeams through the world — notoriously expensive in Skyrim. Dropping from High to Medium is a big, near-invisible gain.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and distance. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Object / Draw DistanceLow+9% FPS
How far objects and grass render. Lowering it causes mild pop-in but helps in open landscapes.
Water QualityLow+6% FPS
Reflections and detail on water. A cheap saving away from rivers and coasts.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop it if you need frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM (vanilla; texture mods change this a lot).
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
