set g_fNewTerrainTessellationFactor 0.2 // default 0.5 - 3d: .tessfactor X
set g_bNewTerrainPhotorealForce4KTiles 1 // default 0, forces 4k instead of 16k Photoreal if installed
set g_nNewTerrainHiresTilesDistKM 16 // default 32 km, may affect VRAM usage
set g_bRenderNewTerrainToENVMap 1 // default 1 reflections will look much worse (Instead of terrain there will be fog color)
set g_fNewTerrainFrustumCullingFactor 1.0 // default 1.0 - culling of GPU rendering. 3d: .ntfrustum X
set g_nPrefilterENVSampling 1024 // default 1024, – Decide how many texturing passes the Environment mapping. Reducing the default value may help with performance.
