Performance and Graphic Settings - has anyone produced a list of impactful settings?

Hi

I was wondering if there are any settings that are known to have a large impact on VR. I'm not talking about SS or HMD quality.

If not I will have a lookie and record my findings with my system specs

Thanks!

Not sure about AO, blur or DOF since most VR users (myself included) turn them off. Pretty sure AO is a decent hit, though. Same deal with AA. FXAA shouldn't be too bad, while others will affect performance significantly. I find ED's AA doesn't make much of a difference in VR so I leave it off.

After that I'd say shadows are by far the most taxing. Even on low, they really hit the frame rate hard. The terrain related sliders have a pretty strong effect too, but only on planetary surfaces. Most everything else I find has a pretty small impact.

After a bit of testing

Volumetric from Ultra to high made a massive difference on my system. So much so it left ASW in the asteroid field! :)

DOF only applies to the vanity camera, but it's performance hit can be quite extreme.

None of the in-game AA settings should do much to frame rate on higher-end GPUs, but the MLAA options are usually worse performance and IQ than SMAA.

Volumetric is the lighting. Things like light cones and god rays. And yes, pretty big performance difference in some areas.
