Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced shadows and reflections - prettier but costs around 15-25 percent FPS. Keep Off unless you have headroom.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM - keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot - Ultra adds little for a real cost.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Surface and water reflections. Moderate cost; High is fine for most scenes.
Atmospherics QualityHighbaseline
Fog, mist and god-rays. A solid FPS saving with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is plenty for gameplay clarity.
Model QualityHighbaseline
Character and world geometry detail. High looks great without the Ultra cost.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
