Upscaling — FSR85%+35% FPS
Destiny 2 uses a manual render scale rather than DLSS/FSR. Dropping to 85 percent gains frames with minimal sharpness loss.
Texture DetailHighest-1% FPS
Texture sharpness. Destiny 2 is light on VRAM - keep it High or Highest.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution. Destiny 2 is well-optimised - High is a safe pick.
Ambient OcclusionHBAO+baseline
Soft contact shadows. HDAO is cheaper than HBAO+ for a similar look.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Cinematic blur, mostly preference. Many PvP players turn it Off for clarity.
Motion BlurHighbaseline
Camera and weapon motion blur. Off is standard for competitive play.
Texture Anisotropy16xbaseline
Keeps floors and terrain sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
Environment Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far world detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Foliage Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far grass and plants render. An easy saving in dense areas.
Light ShaftsOnbaseline
God-rays through windows and clouds. Cheap; nice atmosphere.
