💡 007 First Light: Glacier engine (the Hitman engine) is well-optimised - upscaling plus High settings hits high frame rates comfortably.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS
007 First Light runs on IO Interactive's Glacier engine (the Hitman engine), which supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections on Bond's polished, mirror-filled locations. A real cost for a classy gain - keep Off for high FPS.
Simulation QualityLow+7% FPS
Crowd density and physics detail - a Glacier-engine signature in busy missions. Medium keeps frametimes steady in packed crowds.
Volumetric LightingLow+6% FPS
Atmospheric light shafts and fog. Medium is an easy win that's hard to notice in motion.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Screen Space ReflectionsLow+4% FPS
Reflections on water, glass and marble floors when ray tracing is off. Glacier leans on these - Medium is a clean trade.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness, shown with a VRAM estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Ultra.
Level of DetailHighbaseline
How detailed distant objects stay. High avoids obvious pop-in; drop to Medium for frames.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces (floors, walls) sharp into the distance. Practically free - leave at 16x.
