Ninja Gaiden 4 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first for the high frame rates fast action needs.
Volumetric FogLow+10% FPS
Atmospheric fog and light shafts (the game runs on PlatinumGames' own engine, not UE5/Lumen). High is a clean trade over Epic.
Shadow QualityLow+9% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Many disable motion blur for clarity in fast combat.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingLow+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
