As announced we're posting some advancements on optimization and improvements on the Turtle's Beach scene.
We said that we wanted to allow players to reach ~60FPS with a GTX1060 (on a i7, 16GB RAM) and we realized that settings should be tuned in order to achieve that.

First we improved the Settings UI to allow more control over Video Settings / Quality and Features.


You can play with the buttons to achieve the optimal quality/fps ratio for your tastes.
Here's some advice:
When setting Overall Quality all the sub-settings are set the same but if you have chosen (say) Low and set every sub-settings to Epic is not the same as chosing Epic;
If your card does not support Ray Tracing, for no reason set Ray Tracing enabled;
Ray Tracing comes to a high cost in terms of FPS but quality of the rendering is maxed;
Fluid Simulation is a nice feature, while walking submerged, but it's experimental and some systems can't handle it.It also comes at a certain cost in terms of FPS expecially on lower GPUs.


I show you some screenshots in order to compare settings and results on two systems.
