Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow detail and range. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Dynamic CrowdsHighbaseline
Number of NPCs in towns — your biggest CPU lever in the busy Act 3 city.
Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far full-detail geometry renders. Lowering causes mild pop-in.
Cloud QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric clouds. Moderately heavy and rarely the focus of attention.
Fog QualityHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog detail. A small, low-risk saving.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Cheap; leave On unless chasing frames.
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.
