Upscaling — XeSSQuality+35% FPS
Albion renders top-down, so a lower internal resolution is hard to notice — but the game is so light that most PCs won’t need it outside 100-player ZvZ fights.
Particle / Spell EffectsHighbaseline
The setting that actually matters: in big ZvZ fights hundreds of spell effects overlap. Every serious PvP player drops this to Low for stable frames when it counts.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Character and building shadows. The next biggest saving after effects.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shading. Minor cost, minor visual — fine either way.
Ground Clutter / VegetationHighbaseline
Grass and clutter density in the open world.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Nearly free — Albion runs on 2GB cards.
