Disable depth of field
- This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.

Disable ambient occlusion

Instructions |
---|
Disable motion blur
- Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
- Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with
