Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Baldur’s Gate 3 supports DLSS and FSR. A strong GPU-side boost — though Act 3’s Lower City is CPU-limited regardless.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow detail and range. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Cheap; leave On unless chasing frames.
Dynamic CrowdsMedium+4% FPS
Number of NPCs in towns — your biggest CPU lever in the busy Act 3 city.
Cloud QualityMedium+3% FPS
Volumetric clouds. Moderately heavy and rarely the focus of attention.
Depth of FieldOff+3% FPS
Background blur in dialogue scenes. Cheap; set to taste.
Fog QualityMedium+2% FPS
Atmospheric fog detail. A small, low-risk saving.
Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far full-detail geometry renders. Lowering causes mild pop-in.
Model QualityHighbaseline
Character and object geometry detail. High in cutscene-heavy scenes; Medium for frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM — keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Texture FilteringHighbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces sharp — effectively free, leave it High.
Instance DistanceHighbaseline
How far props and small objects render before fading. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-Aliasing (TAA)Onbaseline
Cleans up shimmer and jagged edges. Cheap; leave it On.
God RaysOnbaseline
Light shafts through clouds and windows. A small, low-risk saving.
Subsurface ScatteringOnbaseline
Soft light through skin and ears in close-ups. Cheap; nice in cutscenes.
