Refresh rate
In general, you will want to strive for an FPS that is equal to or higher than the refresh rate of your screen. So if you have a 120hz screen, you will want at least 120 fps, 144hz equals 144 fps, so on and so forth.
Video settings
The first thing that you should do is head over to the Video tab in the settings. From there you can tweak all settings related to graphics. One of the settings you should immediately look to tweak is your settings related to shadows. As shadows require a lot of calculating power from your GPU, tuning them down is a surefire way to increase FPS.
Other graphical settings that you should consider are things like Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Flitering. These settings are tied to how ‘crisp’ your game looks, so it looks less like a bunch of pixels as it smooths out the objects in game. These settings are heavy on your FPS too, so minimizing it is a great start. Materials and texture quality are not that graphically intensive, so you can usually put these a bit higher than you would expect and still maintain great FPS.
The best tip we can give you is to put the resolution in the game on your ‘native’ resolution (so the resolution that you have your desktop on) and all graphical settings on ‘off’ or its lowest setting. Gradually increase and tweak the settings until you hit the sweet spot between looking good and getting great FPS, and you are set.
