Parallax OcclusionOff+4% FPS
Fake depth on flat surfaces like stone floors. Normal is plenty.
GlareOff+3% FPS
Bloom and light glare. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture DetailMax-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. High or Max is fine on modern cards.
