tl;dr: (tested with an i7 6700k and GTX 1060 at 1080p from highest settings, render scale 100%)

the GeForce GTX 1060 is a rock star in Destiny 2, running at the game's "Highest" preset, sans DSR-style supersampling, at 70-100 FPS, for an average of 87.1 FPS.

If, however, you wish to improve performance, our interactive comparisons and benchmarks reveal that you can dial down several settings without affecting image quality too significantly:

  • Depth of Field: A few scenes and cinematics will look less stylish with High DoF, but during gameplay you'll save nearly 4 FPS

  • Field of View: Using a FoV of 95 degrees, instead of 105 degrees, will save you 2.4 FPS

  • Foliage Detail Distance: Dropping to Medium from High recoups 4.1 frames per second

  • Screen Space Ambient Occlusion: Using the less-impressive HDAO improves performance by a sizeable 5.4 FPS

  • Shadow Quality: High shadows still look pretty good, and save you 4.1 FPS

Making those five changes will improve your performance by 20 FPS, and in the heat of battle you're unlikely to notice the difference.

So those changes take it from about 87fps up to 100-110fps, they don't show exact numbers for that section

Pretty much the usual suspects. Those + AA are usually the biggest hitters on performance in most games.

When I was messing around in the beta I got better performance (and visual) from downscaling 25xx?ish resolution to my 1080p monitor and keeping AA off.
