Can't you just change it from the advanced options?

U used Nvidia Geforce experience to auto set the settings for you ah?

If you find it too low, just go into the game and change to medium? After which, you can uninstall that crap...

Only install NV drivers and forget other software inclusions. GE was buggy on two of my client PC before. Graphic quality always best to set manually on your own.

If you can build your own PC, you should roughly know what settings to take and try anyways.

Geforce experience sucks... played tomb raider with gtx 760 and it gives me normal settings optimisation when I can play it well at ultra setting. - -

I always recommend to people to ALWAYS adjust the settings manually.

Even Geforce Experience is very buggy and its the last resort if you are really that lazy to even spend a few seconds to adjust the settings yourself.

For me I will always max out all the settings except AA which I disable it since my resolution is so high its practically irrelevant and fps/performance hogger. Disable/Lower it for the most performance gains.

If your performance is still not ideal then proceed to adjust SSAO/HDAO which is the next frame rate hogger which contribute little to image fidelity.

Next is shadows. Lower settings will increase frame rates dramatically.

If still performance is not up to expectations then you have to trial and error already. But the above 3 settings are the most performance hoggers for most games.

AA, shadow and texture all these 3 make fps drop alot. Not good for shooting genre games.
