Texture QualityEpic-2% FPS
Surface sharpness - VRAM-hungry. Medium/High on 8GB cards to avoid stutter.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Mediumbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the single heaviest setting. Medium/High is the realistic pick; Epic is brutal.
Foliage QualityMediumbaseline
The dense jungle foliage - a massive cost given how much covers the island. Lowering it is one of the biggest FPS wins.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium/High is standard for playable frames.
Effects QualityMediumbaseline
Water, weather and combat effects. Lowering smooths busy bases and raids.
View DistanceMediumbaseline
How far the island renders - a real cost given the long sightlines. Medium/High is sensible.
Post ProcessingMediumbaseline
Bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
