Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. One of the most demanding recent AAA titles - upscaling is strongly recommended.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. VRAM-hungry at Ultra.
Environment QualityHighbaseline
Overall world detail, draw distance and geometry quality. The biggest single GPU lever.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is reliable - Ultra adds cost for subtle gain.
Volumetric CloudsHighbaseline
Detailed cloud rendering across the Japanese landscape. Moderately expensive for how subtle it is.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Water and surface reflections. High is a solid middle ground.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a safe, cheap saving.
Global IlluminationHighbaseline
Bounced ambient lighting. Heavy; High over Ultra is a strong saving.
Vegetation QualityHighbaseline
Grass and tree density across the landscape. A real cost in lush areas.
Volumetric FogHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and haze. A solid, low-risk saving.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Detail of rivers, sea and reflections. Moderate cost near water.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
