#1171
Changed Godray's to Off instead of High - No real performance gain.
Changed Volumetric Fog to Off instead of On - No real performance gain either.
Changed Ambient Occlusion from HBAO+ to Off - Again no real performance gain. (strange.)
Still testing the other settings, running around on the beach after the ship battle.
EDIT: Disabled Motion Blur but it didn't alter framerate either but that was kinda expected.
Reflection Quality from High to Off had a noticeable boost though, some six to eight FPS gain.
Shadows from (Soft) High to Low had another noticeable boost, around some seven FPS gained.
Anti-Aliasing from EQAA (2x 4x) to Off only got about four FPS gained.
EDIT:
SSAO Off
Reflection Quality Off
Shadows Low
AA Off
Framerate is now between 42 up to 62 which seems to be a capped maximum.
(EDIT: Re-enabled HBAO+ again since it only makes a one - two FPS difference from where I'm testing performance.)
Environmental Quality from V.High to Low only had a minor FPS difference too.
That kinda leaves reflection quality (Water looks worse with this off but performance is improved decently.) and shadows (soft-shadows are nice but seem to give a noticeable hit to performance.)
(FXAA or SMAA can be used aside from MSAA for a small gain too, depending on GPU model.)
