VFXLimit = 10 Means it will show 10 effects from other players which means more FPS since they fucked things up completely with the above change.
The biggest changes for Rift is the Lightning change for newer cards, you gain FPS and the weird flashing lightning goes away.
And set Anisotropic from nvdia/AMD and not the game itself, the quality is better.
