First off, adjust the settings ONLY while you're in-game, and NOT from the title screen, as doing so won't retain any of your saved customizations once you START your game, exit or get disconnected. It's bugged, and this could be part of the reason why you've been unsuccessful in pimping up the graphics.

Gear icon bottom left,

Performance tab:

Make sure 'Upscale' is not checked, since your rig will run this fine in 1080p, and having upscale checked will give it a grainier look - obviously.

Don't check 'Low-power option', as this will lower your frames per second. Only use this feature if you wish to save on power consumption, or to conserve battery life of a laptop. Furthermore, when you run the game while AFK (in minimized to tray mode), this option can help shave off GPU heat by 10 degrees celsius. Prolonging GPU life for the would-be AFK'ers out there! ; )

Optimiozation (beta) tab:

Enable 'Effect Optimization' and slide the slider all the way to the left to 'Prioritize Effects'.

Enable 'Character Optimization' and slide the slider all the way to the right. Obviously adjust these two if the game cannot cope with the frame rates while running on your rig.

Graphics & Textures tab:

Enable everything that can be enabled (except the snow build-up option), and set everything to High or Very High, but don't touch 'Optimal' though.

Display Settings tab:

Adjust the sliders from 'Effects' and 'Camera Graphics' to your desired preference on boosting the visuals even further. Although these can be taxing on overall performance, especially in boss battles, so be wary of that.

At any rate, doing the above will give you significantly better looking visuals, while minimizing NPC or other player pop-ups!

As for the pop-ups of flora and the likes, however, this CANNOT be helped, nor fixed, and 'this' even happens on a powerful GTX1080 Ti. It's all down to badly optimized load management, which is both the bottleneck & culprit.

Remember, don't tinker with the Settings from the title screen, it's bugged and won't save your settings, do it while you're in-game.

Lastly, once you've set your custom key configs and quickslot keys, make sure to click on the 'Setting Archive' option on the top of the Settings home page. So as to upload and save your custom settings to the servers, and should you require to use them in the future, just hit 'download' to retain your settings again on whichever PC you're play this game on! ; )

For an MMO they've done pretty good graphics, but that pop-in might be due to level-of-detail models being insufficient or not using tesselation properly for it?

Other player characters seem to cause most of the drop in framerates, maybe due to recompiling shaders or other intensive things that might be better cached (game does not use much of RAM even in 64-bit version when it might benefit of caching more things).

Edit: when you spot a "pop-in" of grass somewhere, stop and move a bit forward and backward. You'll see that farther and closer models are not similar at all but entirely different models. So there's no smooth transition between less detailed and more detailed versions of same but entirely different models, grass blades can be very different height and use different area of space. That makes it so apparent and seen easily. Having separate versions of same grass should make it smoother to transition. I don't know if they've done the different versions but code doesn't use them correctly or what..

Turn off high-end mode or whatever that is called, it'll literally uglify your graphics.

Also if you're jumping in for the first time, it takes some time to adjust as poor LOD and realistic looking environment don't mesh too well and Olvia (starting town) is really quite ugly during high noon. Alternatively, change the color scheme to something like Vibrance, color makes half the difference.

thank you everyone for the answere, i can say it make a hugh diffrent with those tips

I don't believe the game uses tesselation to a degree which some developers would use when they allow that option, and where tesselation has been used to significantly improve the image quality.

It's all down to poor optimization, in the simplest term. Speaking of RAM, yeah, very poor utilization and worst part is the memoey leaks.... dreadful.

Breathe of the Wild, a magnificient game, deals with pop-ups in a very simple fashion, it slowly morphs distant objects into view, and eliminatinates pop-up significantly. It's a cheap transition, but it works. Whereas in this game objects just pop into view, for whatever reason the developers chose not to deal with addressing it.

Anyway, the pop-ups don't bother me at all in this game, and I also happen to agree that the graphics are gorgeous, even more so for an MMORPG. : )

Not a problem. ; )
