Turn High Dynamic Range Off

If you have this setting available to you, then you've probably noticed how much it increases the overall quality of the game. You probably also notice how much it eats your total FPS. If you want to save frames, always keep this setting off.

Set Motion Blur to 0

Adds a blur effect when you move your camera around. This uses quite a bit of processing power so keep this off.

Put Lighting Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Affects the amount of lighting that can be rendered in the game as well as the quality of the shadows. This setting is almost always the biggest contributor to low frames on any game, keep this setting low.

Put Effects Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Affects the quality of explosions, gunshots, smokes, etc. Keep this low.

Put Post Process Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Noticeable on reflective surfaces like water or metal. You can keep this setting low.

Put Mesh Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Changes the quality of vegetation like trees. It's an easy way to get more frames and it's also barely noticeable when you're in the heat of battle, keep this setting low.

Put Terrain Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Changes the quality of the ground. Barely noticeable and gives a generous amount of frames by turning this setting low.

Put Undergrowth Quality Low

Low	Ultra

Essentially makes vegetation into objects that can cast shadows. Turn this setting low.

Put Antialiasing Post-prcessing Low

Affects the quality of post-processing effects. Since we have Post Process set as low, keep this low as well.

Turn Ambient Occulsion Off

Low	Ultra

Affects the number of light sources that can cast shadows around you and other objects. Like lighting, this also takes a lot of processing power. Keep this setting low.

Turn Dynamic Resolution Scale On

Dynamic Resolution Scale Refresh Rate Target 100%

Reduces your resolution in real-time to reach the max FPS you set on the display menu. Put the target around 100% to have the function enabled at all times just in case your FPS goes below your max FPS.

Turn DLSS On

An Nvidia RTX exclusive setting. This will give you a good boost in frames if you have an RTX card. Enable it if you can.

Turn Ray Tracing Off

Increases the quality and the number of reflections that bounce off objects around you. Keep this setting off by default.

Turn Future Frame Rendering On

Increases your input lag but reduces the number of frame drops and screen tearing. If you can tolerate the input lag, turn this setting on.

Turn Vertical Sync Off

We keep this off in almost any other game and we will also keep it off in this one. You will only want to turn this on if you notice screen tearing.

Put High Fidelity Objects Amount Low

This does not reduce the number of enemies seen. What this setting does is reduce the number of objects (soldiers and vehicles) that create high-quality effects in front of your character at any given time.
