Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
The Next-Gen update adds DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A big GPU-side boost, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray Tracing (GI / Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced global illumination and reflections — beautiful but very heavy. Turn Off for big FPS; pair with upscaling if you want it.
Foliage Visibility RangeLow+10% FPS
How far grass and bushes render — a real cost in the open world. High is a great trade.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra.
Grass DensityMedium+3% FPS
How thick the grass is. Lowering is an easy saving in fields.
Detail LevelMedium+3% FPS
Overall world geometry detail and draw distance.
Ambient Occlusion (HBAO+)SSAO+2% FPS
Contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheaper alternative to HBAO+.
Water QualityMedium+2% FPS
Water detail and reflections. Modest cost.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Keep it Ultra on 8GB+ cards.
NVIDIA HairWorksOffbaseline
Physically simulated hair and fur. Surprisingly costly (especially on monsters) — most players leave it Off or Geralt-only.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
