adjust these 3 settings for LOD distances:
e_view_dist_ratio=58
e_view_dist_ratio_detail=28
e_view_dist_ratio_vegetation=46

and this for the distance vegetation changes from 2d to 3d
e_vegetation_sprites_distance_custom_ratio_min=0.7 5

these for generated shadow map distances
e_gsm_lods_num=5
e_gsm_range=4
e_gsm_range_step=3

and finally, im not sure what these do, but setting them to very high seems to improve distance colouring and general object detail
e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy=4096 (very high is 2048)
e_detail_materials_view_dist_z=128

good luck tweaking. it's very fun. you can find my tweaks in my sig, specifically designed for high end cards to have playable framerates at 1680x1050 or 1600x1200.
