Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though this remaster runs easily on modern hardware.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range — the heaviest setting here. Medium is barely different from High while running faster.
Geometry DetailLow+8% FPS
World and object detail. High is fine on most cards; lower it only if you need frames.
APEX PhysX DetailOff+6% FPS
Cloth, debris and particle physics — can tank FPS on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there). Off or Medium is safest.
Anti-AliasingOff+6% FPS
Smooths jagged edges — higher levels (MSAA) get expensive. 2x is a good balance.
Anisotropic Filtering4x+4% FPS
Keeps road and building textures sharp at angles. Cheap — 16x is fine.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
