Those two settings will have an impact on 'the horse hair uglies', but as Neru mentioned - it's a real FPS killer - if you don't have the horsepower.
You fiddle - you look - you decide.
Me? It eliminated 'the horse hair uglies'.
It was also like chaining an anchor around the FPS and shoving them overboard.
I decided I can live with 'the horse hair uglies' - if it means 40 more fps - and it does.
Which setting got rid of the “horse hair uglies”?

Basically, those guys tested each setting, its impact on graphics and performance, then came up with the most efficient settings for best graphics with minimal performance hits.
Look up similar stuff elsewhere to have a better idea, always better to have multiple sources than just once. Find out which settings are the most taxing for the GPU and the CPU and get rid of them. As far as I know, the overall reflections, all water stuff and tree tessellation are some of the most taxing settings.
Just mess around with settings and run the benchmark mode in settings each time you change something to see the effect. Keep doing that until you get stable 60 fps in all scenes in the benchmark, if that's even possible with your hardware. If not, well, as close to 60 as possible anyway.
My GPU is pretty good (my old one died so I had to upgrade, that's why), my CPU is not, and this means that I would get pretty much equal fps on all the lowest settings as I do now with much higher settings than the lowest. It's because my CPU is not good enough to give me 60 fps in Saint Denis no matter what, but the GPU is doing just fine, that's why I can have great graphics and lowering all settings wouldn't increase fps at all.
So, just mess around with settings and use the videos above to have a better idea of what to mess with.
depends if you prefer fluidity OR like to watch quality of fingernails and flowers during firefights
LOL, With the right hardware you can actually have both
