Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Ghost of Tsushima supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A smooth port - upscaling is particularly effective here.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution. High is a great value pick over Very High.
Foliage QualityLow+9% FPS
Grass and vegetation density - significant in the open-world fields. One of the bigger GPU costs.
Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS
Water and surface reflections. High is clean and cheaper than Very High.
Particle QualityLow+6% FPS
Smoke, embers and weather effects. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.
Volumetric FogLow+6% FPS
Mist and atmospheric haze across the island. A solid, low-risk saving.
Level of DetailLow+5% FPS
How far full-detail geometry renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Depth of FieldOff+4% FPS
Cinematic blur on near and far objects. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps distant ground surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
