Alpha Piscium ships with six built-in quality profiles that act as one-click presets, simultaneously adjusting shadow resolution, GI sample counts, denoiser settings, soft-shadow quality, and more across the entire shader. Rather than asking you to tune dozens of interdependent settings by hand, profiles give you a coherent starting point tuned by the author. You can always override individual settings after applying a profile — the profile is a starting point, not a lock.Documentation Index

Available Profiles
| Profile | Priority |
|---|---|
| Low | Bare minimum rendering. Potato mode — not recommended for normal play. Disables or minimises most advanced features to squeeze out frames on very weak hardware. |
| Medium | Baseline performance mode. Enables core features at reduced quality, suitable for mid-range hardware that cannot yet reach High. |
| High | Balanced quality and performance. A practical everyday preset for mid-to-high-end GPUs that want good visuals without a heavy frame-time cost. |
| Ultra | The true Alpha Piscium experience as it should be. Full-quality GI, shadows, and materials at settings the author considers correct. Recommended as the default starting point. |
| Extreme | An even better experience at some cost. Pushes sample counts and denoiser history beyond Ultra for noticeably improved lighting stability and shadow fidelity, at a meaningful GPU performance cost. |
| Insane | Maximum quality. Every configurable knob turned to its highest setting. Intended for high-end hardware, benchmarking, or screenshot work rather than interactive play. |
Selecting a profile overwrites all affected settings with the profile’s preset values. If you have made manual changes, applying a different profile will reset those settings. After choosing a profile you are free to tweak any individual option — your changes persist until you apply another profile or manually reset them.
