• Nanite allows highly detailed visuals at a much lower performance cost than it would have been. Trees can activate Nanite by being set to epic in graphics, but nanite foliage does not perform as well as static buildings. Currently, the building highlight is broken with Nanite and will be fixed (It only works with DirectX 12).
  
  
• Temporal super-resolution, similar to DLSS, allows the resolution to be dropped and upscaled to the set screen resolution. This provides significant performance boosts, and as long as the percentage is not dropped too low, it usually isn't noticeable (lower than 50% is generally noticeable and doesn't seem to work well on direct 11).

• Virtual shadow maps provide much more detailed shadows at a longer distance with a slight performance cost (Shadows can flicker without Nanite enabled).

• Lumen is a cheaper lighting alternative to raytracing but still costly, so a toned-down version of lumen is available.
