Turn on XeSS upscaling (Quality first, then Balanced). It is usually the biggest single fps gain for a small loss in sharpness. Drop the preset from Ultra to High. Shadows, volumetric fog and clouds, and ray tracing cost the most and look the least different. Or play at 1080p, where it gets about 95 fps (estimate). For competitive play, use the Low or Competitive preset. In esports games it can more than double fps, and the processor becomes the limit.
