means little to no performance impact.

Category	Setting	CPU	GPU	RAM	VRAM	Additional Details
Presets	Quality Presets					Choose from one of four quality presets. Preset Custom is automatically set once a setting was adjusted manually.
General	Window mode					Defines how the window is displayed. Also influences the Render Scale / Resolution setting.
	Render scale / Resolution					Define the resolution at which the game scene will be rendered. A reduced resolution will drastically improve performance and a very high loss of image quality. It is recommended to use the default monitor resolution (100%).
	FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0					Enables AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution
	V-Sync					The thing no one uses since Freesync/G-Sync ;)
	FPS limit					Limit your FPS to reduce stuttering and power consumption due to unnecessary high frame rates.
	Draw distance					Sets the overall terrain draw distance.
	Nearby depth of field					Enable or disable nearby Depth of Field (especially visible when aiming down sights).
Post-processing	Post-process anti aliasing					TODO
	Depth of field quality					Choose between None, Simple or Bokeh (more accurate but more expensive)
	Ambient occlusion (HBAO)					Ambient occlusion is a rendering method that provides an approximation of how bright light should be at different parts of a visible surface.
	Screen space reflections					Defines how many reflections are shown in the scene and their quality.
	Contact shadows					Enables SSDO's contact shadows.
Quality	Hardware anti-aliasing					See Multisample anti-aliasing.
	Foliage smoothing					Defines if and what foliage is smoothed. Only available if Hardware anti-aliasing is at least set to Low.
	Model geometric detail					Sets the overall quality of model geometry.
	Object draw distance					Sets the objects' maximum draw distance from the camera, relative to Terrain's draw distance.
	Terrain surface detail					Sets the terrain's shader quality.
	Texture detail					Sets the overall texture quality.
	Texture filtering					Define Texture filtering quality.
	Grass quality					Sets the overall grass quality.
	Grass draw distance					Sets the rendering distance of grass and other 3D clutters (small rocks, etc).
	Shadow quality					Sets the overall shadow quality.
	Distant shadows					Rendering distance of shadows.
	Render target format					Choose between 32 or 64-bit colour render.
	Environment quality					Affects volumetric clouds quality (number of samples, temporal filter settings, noise resolution etc), sky rendering quality (texture resolution, fog, cascade shadow), rain quality.
