+ | * Vision distance to 5/11 (0 or 2 causes frequent disappearing of some objects) | ||
+ | * Objects detail to 3 or 4+ (0 - low texture quality in distant [e.g. on hills in Cordon - avoidable by setting 2-3 points above 0]) | ||
+ | * Grass density to 0 (or 3/4, 1/4, depends on a taste) | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the second place: | ||
+ | * Grass shadows off (minor visual impact with some performance impact, though depends on API and taste) | ||
+ | * Sun rays off (like above) | ||
+ | * HDAO is claimed to be optimized for AMD | ||
+ | * HBAO for Nvidia cards (the last option) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Disable for 1 FPS gain on each (from 23 FPS): | ||
+ | * Ambient Occlusion (entirely) | ||
+ | * FXAA | ||
+ | * Soft Particles | ||
+ | * Anisotropic Filtering | ||
+ | * MSAA from x2 to 0 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Others: | ||
+ | * Keep Sun shadows always on (massive change of lighting) | ||
+ | * V-Sync off (reportedly reported frame lock working sometimes below native monitor frequency - depending on FPS dips; alternatively force V-Sync in your GPU panel) | ||
+ | * Keep textures in RAM off | ||
+ | * Object prefetching on (disabled cause stuttering, delete -noprefetch from your shortcut properties). | ||
+ | {{ii}} Settings tested on Q9650/HD7870. | ||
+ | * Some settings may require the game restart, even if you're not asked to do so (e.g. grass density, texture quality, MSAA). | ||
+ | * Restart the game (instead of just clicking quit the game and load last save) in case of performance decrease after changing details a lot of times. | ||
+ | * If your game settings stopped to be saved after the game restart, change the settings and save them before loading the game. | ||
+ | * Run the game only from a desktop shortcut to avoid crash on launch. | ||
+ | * {{key|Alt|Tab}} cause engine error (at least with Reshade). As a workaround, disable full screen, and enable it again after task switching. | ||
+ | * Game utilizes the computing power of more than two cores mostly only during loading (at least distributes load rather linearly only at this moment). | ||

+ | {{--}} Causes very slow level loading times, saves, the main menu, or causes rare hang after pressing ESC. | ||
+ | * You can preserve FPS gain achieved in compatibility mode by saving the game and loading it in the game launched normally. | ||
+ | * FPS drops again after triggering progress during quests (e.g. after quest text appearing, spawning new enemies - usually when the game stops for a few seconds, or stutters). | ||
+ | * Turn on shader cache in GPU driver panel to increase save and level loading times (SSD recommended). | ||
+ | * Compatibility mode in some cases increases VRAM usage by ~300 MB. | ||
