Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side gain — though crowded villages are CPU-bound, where it helps less.
View / Object DistanceLow+12% FPS
How far the medieval countryside renders. Heavy, and it leans on the CPU in towns.
Vegetation / GrassLow+11% FPS
Dense grass and forests are the whole look — and a heavy load. Medium/High is a near-invisible saving.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks great and runs better than Ultra.
Lighting QualityLow+8% FPS
How detailed the lighting is — drop it last among the heavy settings, it shapes the look.
Water QualityLow+5% FPS
Reflections and detail on water. Safe to lower away from rivers.
Shader QualityLow+5% FPS
Material shading detail (soft shadows, tessellation and lighting shaders). High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. SMAA is sharp; TAA is cleaner in motion. Cheap either way.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
