Try changing Overall Quality to High.

Godrays look sick, especially with the Lens Flare effect on. Don't put them on "High" though as it can badly slow down you GPU, put it on "Low" for max performance. I haven't played the campaign with them so far, but they look awesome in multiplayer. Can't wait to see Xen with these.

We don't know anything about their gpu. I have a 980 ti/8700k and have everything cranked up at 1080p with no slow downs aside from some crazy bits in xen.

My res is 2K so I have to be more careful with certain settings, I had experienced crashes before. My device is pretty high quality though, but I want to optimize performance at least a little bit. Yes, FPS can get pretty low in Xen, but for me it looks more like mouse lag rather than actual FPS drop. Otherwise, I have maximal model and texture quality, anti-aliasing, Anisotropic 16x, dynamic shadow quality and some other settings I can't memorize. Nevertheless, the game looks and plays beautifully with these settings so I don't want some overly fancy sunrays to ♥♥♥♥ it all up.

Basically, I'm underestimating others' devices and even my own.

if you have a high end gpu like a 2080ti and up. stick everything on max and over ride the graphic settings to ridicules.
