Suggestions

You can display advanced settings by choosing Custom under Overall Quality
Dynamic Reflections can be particularly taxing on performance, especially the Faces per update setting, keep it low.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) can be taxing on slow system.
Vehicle's lights will not influence the environment if Lighting is set to Lowest
FXAA and SMAA Antialiasing modes have negligible performance difference. SMAA is overall better and would provide you a better image quality. That option is available when using Custom Overall Quality.
