Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Final Fantasy XIV added DLSS and FSR upscaling in the Dawntrail update. A free boost, especially helpful in crowded hubs.
Shadow Resolution & LODMedium+5% FPS
Shadow sharpness and draw distance - the heaviest GPU setting. High is the value pick over Max.
Texture DetailMax-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. High or Max is fine on modern cards.
Grass QualityMediumbaseline
Grass density in the field zones. A real cost outdoors; Medium is a clean trade.
Water RefractionStandardbaseline
Reflection and refraction detail on water. Standard is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionLightbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Light is a cheap, good-looking option.
TessellationOnbaseline
Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces. A small saving when off.
Parallax OcclusionNormalbaseline
Fake depth on flat surfaces like stone floors. Normal is plenty.
GlareNormalbaseline
Bloom and light glare. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
