🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
The Callisto Protocol (Unreal Engine 4) supports DLSS and FSR. Enable it first - the game is demanding and stutter-prone.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and shadows. Heavy and known to worsen the game's stutter - keep Off for smoother frames.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on the prison's wet metal surfaces. Medium is plenty without ray tracing.
Volumetric QualityMediumbaseline
Fog and light shafts - core to the grim atmosphere but a real cost. Medium is a clean trade.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Gore and combat effects. Lowering smooths the brutal melee fights.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
