How to make your own settings file:
http://www.insidetwoworlds.com/showthread.php?t=32933
Tl;dr: Put the parameters one after another in a notepad document. Save it in the folder with TW2 executable. While in game, open up the console ("~" button) and type" @nameofyourparametersfile
You have to enable it in the console every time you launch the game from the desktop.

------------------------------------------------------------
FREE FPS TWEAKS
Following tweaks will get you some additional frames without sacrificing any (or very little) visual candy:
Engine.StencilShadows 0
Engine.ParalaxOnTerrain 0
If you already disabled shadows in the game's graphic settings, use this line for additional frames:
Engine.SSAOForceOFF 1
------------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHIC TWEAKS
Following tweaks disable fog and annoying dialog depth of field. They don't affect the framerate.
Graph.EnableFog 0
Cam.Talk.DOFAmount 0
Optionally:
Engine.EdgeAABlend X
This controls the amount of edge blurriness, default value is 1 (don't set it higher). You can lower it to 0.75 or 0.5 for sharper but more jagged image (or 0 to completely disable).
------------------------------------------------------------
ANTIALIASING
Use this program (it works both, for ATI and NVIDIA):

Just paste the files from the D3D9 OR D3D10 folder to the game installation (folder with TwoWorlds2.exe file).
I recommend opening injector.ini and changing:
SMAA_PRESET_HIGH
to
SMAA_PRESET_LOW
It still gives very nice AA effect with minimum performance hit. Here's a comparison:

------------------------------------------------------------
DirectX 10 is very resource heavy but doesn't really add much to graphics compared to DirectX 9 so it's best to start the game using the TwoWorlds2.exe for a massive performance boost.
------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT
------------------------------------------------------------
The game doesn't have a triple buffering option so be sure to force it unless you're not using vsync (but why would you do that?!). Without triple buffering you'll suffer 15/30 fps drops in some heavy resource scenes. You can force it via graphic card's control panel (doesn't always work*) or use the D3DOverrider or MSI Afterburner programs.
*Sometimes you need to alt-tab then return to game to make it work.
