Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Ghost of Tsushima supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A smooth port - upscaling is particularly effective here.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution. High is a great value pick over Very High.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Grass and vegetation density - significant in the open-world fields. One of the bigger GPU costs.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Water and surface reflections. High is clean and cheaper than Very High.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Smoke, embers and weather effects. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Cinematic blur on near and far objects. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps distant ground surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
Volumetric FogHighbaseline
Mist and atmospheric haze across the island. A solid, low-risk saving.
Level of DetailHighbaseline
How far full-detail geometry renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
