Keep an eye on the “GPU Memory” slider on the bottom right of the video settings menu to make sure you don’t go over, which would cause stuttering as the GPU would swap to using the page file on your disk drive if it runs out. Texture settings have no impact on performance so as high as you’re able to go. Shadow settings should be at a minimum on High in this game. There is a lot of visual information you’ll be losing when going to medium and low.

For instance dynamic shadows on character models disappear when going from high to medium. Imagine you’re looking into a room, with dynamic shadow casting you’ll see the enemy characters shadow potentially bouncing off the wall of the bathroom as he moves around inside. Don't worry about the 'Very High' setting, it gives a minor improvement to the sharpness of the shadows at a performance penalty that isn't worth it to anyone. Hope this answered any questions you may have had, if you have any more let me know!
