Usage Notes:
Water settings can have a huge impact on performance without it being very obvious. Some things that can affect performance:
- Texture quality: It can be tempting to set this to "High", but the difference between that and "Low" is actually not too noticeable in practice. In any case, it may be a worthy tradeoff to simply set this to "Low"
- Reflection shader detail: This is another one that may be tempting to max out, but really beyond "World" reflections a lot of the extra detail is hard to notice and very expensive to render
- Refraction: Like the above reflection option, this one requires the engine to draw the entire scene twice which results in a decent performance hit. It is recommended to keep this option disabled unless you don't mind sacrificing the FPS
