Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
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 QualityMedium+4% FPS
Combat skill and Ultimate effects — the main FPS drain in busy fights. Medium smooths them.
Shadow QualityLow+3% FPS
Shadow resolution. Medium is barely different from High in this stylised game.
Light QualityMediumbaseline
Scene lighting detail. Medium is a fine, cheap saving.
Reflection QualityMediumbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny floors. Low is plenty during exploration.

World and scenery detail. Medium reclaims frames in dense areas.
Character QualityHighbaseline
Character model detail. High is cheap on most GPUs.
Bloom EffectMediumbaseline
