Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Adjust AF samples[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following and save the file.
[SystemSettings]
r.MaxAnisotropy=16

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Switch to FXAA[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following and save the file.
[SystemSettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=1
Enable AA sharpening[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following and save the file.
[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1
This will sharpen the image to offset the blur caused by FXAA and TAA. A value between 0.5-1.0 is recommended, 10 is the maximum. It has no performance impact.
Adjust r.ScreenPercentage for downsampling[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
  3. Add [SystemSettings] to the bottom of the file, if that section doesn't already exist.
  4. Inside that section, add r.ScreenPercentage=100 where 100 is the desired resolution percentage.

Notes

Decreasing the value allows for upscaling/upsampling from lower resolutions while running UI elements at the native screen resolution, which might be helpful for lower-end configurations.
Increasing the value results in downscaling.

Motion blur

Disable motion blur[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following and save the file.
[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
