Upscaling — DLSS100%+55% FPS
Destiny 2 uses a manual render scale rather than DLSS/FSR. Dropping to 85 percent gains frames with minimal sharpness loss.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution. Destiny 2 is well-optimised - High is a safe pick.
Texture DetailHighest-1% FPS
Texture sharpness. Destiny 2 is light on VRAM - keep it High or Highest.
Ambient OcclusionHBAO+baseline
Soft contact shadows. HDAO is cheaper than HBAO+ for a similar look.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Cinematic blur, mostly preference. Many PvP players turn it Off for clarity.
Motion BlurHighbaseline
Camera and weapon motion blur. Off is standard for competitive play.
Texture Anisotropy16xbaseline
Keeps floors and terrain sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
Environment Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far world detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
