Honkai: Star Rail has no DLSS, but the Render Scale slider sets internal resolution — the biggest GPU lever. (Above 1.0 it supersamples and costs FPS.)
SFX QualityLow+8% FPS
Combat skill and Ultimate effects — the main FPS drain in busy fights. Medium smooths them.
Shadow QualityOff+7% FPS
Shadow resolution. Medium is barely different from High in this stylised game.
Light QualityOff+6% FPS
Scene lighting detail. Medium is a fine, cheap saving.
Environment DetailLow+6% FPS
World and scenery detail. Medium reclaims frames in dense areas.
Reflection QualityOff+5% FPS
Reflections on water and shiny floors. Low is plenty during exploration.
