This information comes from a video by YouTube content creator WhosImmortal. He does give the caveat that he has a high-end computer, and therefore you may want to make some adjustments to certain settings if you have an older or weaker PC.

It’s always worth remembering that everyone’s computers are different, with different combinations of processors, graphics cards, RAM, and other components that can cause settings to have variance.

If you’re on a lower-end PC, any settings he has set to ultra, you may want to drop down a notch or two.

Particle detail is an example of something you’ll probably want to bring down. He states for strictly FPS benefits, setting most things to medium is most likely the play.
