Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
V Rising renders top-down, so a lower internal resolution is hard to spot — the resolution slider is an easy big win on weak GPUs.
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Sun/moon shadows across the whole visible map — the heaviest setting in this top-down view. Shadows also matter to gameplay (the sun burns you), so Medium is the floor we recommend.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)Off+7% FPS
Contact shadows that ground your castle’s furniture and walls. Moderate cost.
High-Quality VegetationOff+6% FPS
Ground cover across Vardoran. Turning it off also makes loot slightly easier to spot.
Anti-AliasingOff+5% FPS
Edge smoothing. Cheap; High keeps the gothic scenery clean.
Volumetrics QualityLow+5% FPS
The gothic mist over graveyards and the Cursed Forest. Atmospheric but a cheap trim for frames.
Post Processing (Bloom / DoF)Low+4% FPS
Bloom and depth-of-field. Cheap to lower; many PvP players do anyway for clarity.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Nearly free on any card with 4GB+ VRAM.
