Game Settings
View Distance: Lower view distance = sharper higher res textures. Higher view distance = more distant objects are loaded but textures get blurrier & blurrier. pick your poison, I personally prefer Low
Motion Blur: It will help your framerate feel higher since it smooths out the choppiness. Subjective
Other Settings: Low or Medium

How to get Vortex on SteamOS
I recommend you setup CryoUtilities & set your VRAM to 4gb, it can give you FPS gains. A tutorial can be found here
You may also enable FSR1/RSR via drivers or gamescope since this game doesn't support upscaling. This will improve FPS a lot too
