Performance varies depending on what settings you use, if you turn everything on max even high end systems will struggle. So beneath are the settings you should use for better visuals and slight performance decrease. However if you do struggle with performance, feel free to leave it at default. Also if you feel like you can set the settings higher, feel free to change them to your liking.

These settings are our optimal in-game settings and should serve as a reference depending on your system performance.
