you shouldve done that in a bot match or streetlevel_test. in the sandbox arena fps are higher by default since its such a small place that gets rendered
The distance field effects (especially the shadows) have a huge impact on visuals, you just weren't looking in the right places. Look at the shop while toggling the effect and you'll see what I mean. There are also many other lights that rely exclusively on the distance fields for shadows. There is more shading and it generally looks more natural. That said, It still probably isn't worth it for anyone with a gpu below a 4070/7800xt level of performance.
STREETS AHEAD

better consistent test and higher framerate makes it easier to compare
@@tkzii6207 nope you should always compare the ingame performance, its like you are comparing the menu screen otherwise
me watching this on 240p cuz my internet doesn't allow any better :')
