Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though vanilla Skyrim already runs fast on modest hardware.

Volumetric (God) RaysLow+6% FPS

Sunbeams through the world — notoriously expensive in Skyrim. Dropping from High to Medium is a big, near-invisible gain.

Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS

Shadow resolution and distance. High is a strong step down from Ultra.

Object / Draw DistanceMedium+4% FPS

How far objects and grass render. Lowering it causes mild pop-in but helps in open landscapes.

Water QualityMedium+3% FPS

Reflections and detail on water. A cheap saving away from rivers and coasts.

Anti-AliasingFXAA+1% FPS

Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop it if you need frames.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM (vanilla; texture mods change this a lot).

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
