Widescreen resolution

Instructions

Disable depth of field

This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.
This enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation, fixes the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Instructions

Disable HDR

Disabling improves fps.
Instructions

Disable ambient occlusion

Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[1]
Instructions

Disable motion blur

Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with <post> in configuration file but game seems to remove it with every launch.
