Destiny 2 PC Graphics and Performance Guide

tl;dr: (tested with an i7 6700k and GTX 1060 at 1080p from highest settings, render scale 100%)

the GeForce GTX 1060 is a rock star in Destiny 2, running at the game's "Highest" preset, sans DSR-style supersampling, at 70-100 FPS, for an average of 87.1 FPS.

If, however, you wish to improve performance, our interactive comparisons and benchmarks reveal that you can dial down several settings without affecting image quality too significantly:

• Depth of Field: A few scenes and cinematics will look less stylish with High DoF, but during gameplay you'll save nearly 4 FPS

• Field of View: Using a FoV of 95 degrees, instead of 105 degrees, will save you 2.4 FPS

• Foliage Detail Distance: Dropping to Medium from High recoups 4.1 frames per second

• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion: Using the less-impressive HDAO improves performance by a sizeable 5.4 FPS

• Shadow Quality: High shadows still look pretty good, and save you 4.1 FPS

Making those five changes will improve your performance by 20 FPS, and in the heat of battle you're unlikely to notice the difference.

So those changes take it from about 87fps up to 100-110fps, they don't show exact numbers for that section

It runs 60fps smooth on many PCs, felt super well optimized to me in the beta. I got a little gtx760 and a i5-6500 and it ran perfectly fine. Didnt even get the driver Update

It's basically running on a 3+ year old DX11 engine made for Xbox 360 as Bungie opted to focus on optimizing their content creation pipelines for D2 instead of improvements to the engine. So yeah it's gonna run good on pretty much every currently available hardware and we'll get DLC and Destiny 3 on an accelerated schedule compared to how long 2 took to make.
