Mods used in my screenshots:

-

This preset should work fine with AMD/Nvidia mid-class single GPUs and won't drain your peformance.
The Preset was tested with AMD Radeon R9 290X XFire 4GB VRAM, Intel i7 4770K @4,5Ghz 16GB RAM - 1080p, Ultra Settings. 
Small impact on performance, if you experience issues you can leave a comment.

KNOWN ISSUES

*DOF makes HUD blurry.
