You'll need to change the Digital vibrance in your Nvidia controll panel to 65-70%
Also play around with the Brighness and Contrast settings there to your tast.
So keep in mind every time you update your Nvidia drivers you might wanna check out if the settings are still toggles on.
Going beyond the setting i've just discussed there is ofcourse the in-game settings which are
imo best if every thing is set to ultra except for :

- Shadows turn them off
- Fog shadows turn them off
- Gpu particles turn them off

Rest to ultra or highest setting then youi'll be good. I can reach 130 fps in normal battles and when it's really huge i still keep 60 fps
My specs are 4790K @ 4,7Ghz
and GTX 1070

Fog shadows off makes it harder to see though..

Fog shadows are a big impact on your performance, but what do you can't you see?? you are not specific here.

Enabling fog shadows allows you to see more clearly on all continents. The visible fog in the air is reduced to almost nothing, at the cost of not much performance, honestly. I can't bear to have it disabled, else I gimp my own vision. I promise you many other players could tell you the same; fog shadows are a boon, regardless of the slight decrease in performance it presents. Though, you'd think it'd increase performance, considering it practically removes the visible fog, thus increasing clarity and actual view distance.

Nontheless, that's my reasons. The difference of on versus off on Hossin or Esamir is incredibly noticable, and makes an impact on your own play, since you can or can't see as well as other players.
