A system between minimum and recommended specs should provide decent FPS. Higher resolutions and refresh rates demand more powerful hardware. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted on your first run for optimal performance.

Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings

These settings significantly impact your experience:
- Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution for optimal sharpness.
- Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy app switching. "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
- Frame Limit: Limit frames to stabilize performance, especially if FPS is low. Match your monitor's refresh rate or use 60 FPS as a good compromise.
- VSync: Disable to reduce input lag; enable if you experience screen tearing.
- Field of View: 90 degrees provides a balanced view.
- Motion Blur: Disable for clearer visuals, especially during fast movement.
Advanced Graphics Settings

These settings control detail and smoothness. Lowering them improves FPS.
| **View Distance** | Affects how far objects render. Higher settings improve detail but lower FPS. |
| **Shadow Quality** | A major FPS impact. Lowering improves performance significantly. |
| **Texture Quality** | Detail of surfaces. Higher settings require more VRAM. |
| **Shading Quality** | Lighting depth. Lowering reduces realism but boosts performance. |
| **Effects Quality** | Visual effects (fire, magic). Higher settings look better but demand more GPU power. |
| **Foliage Quality** | Grass and tree density. Lowering improves FPS. |
| **Post Processing Quality** | Visual enhancements (bloom, blur). Reducing saves performance. |
| **Reflection Quality** | Water and surface reflections. High settings look great but reduce FPS. |
| **Global Illumination Quality** | Realistic lighting. High settings improve atmosphere but cost performance. |
