Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
The game lives on long, soft shadows. High looks nearly identical to Epic here.

Dust, smoke and ambient particles. Modest cost.
Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Depth-of-field and film effects — a big part of the diorama look, but High vs Epic is invisible in motion.
