MSAA is the biggest killer for me, I went from 75 to 162 from X8 to Off , I set it to X4 and it looks good and I’m still getting over 100fps

i would turn down population variety and distance scaling 0/10 and shader quality is just junk in the road makes it hard to cut corners

FXAA only? I could never give up my AA settings. I also thing Depth of Field should be considered optional. I hate depth of field in all games.
