Here is a quick guide to improving the overall graphics quality for both GPU brands without sacrificing a bunch of performance
Most of this is from the AMD side as thats what i own but hopefully you Nvidia users can figure out it for your respective settings
The Tools you need are:
RadeonPro (need this to have SweetFX in 64bit mode on both)
You GPU settings menu
SweetFX 1.4 files
Part 1: This First part can also be done in RadeonPro for AMD users
First Go into your respective GPU settings menu (Catalyst Control for AMD and Nvidia Control Panel)
Go to manage your 3D Settings
Make a Separate Profile for Warframex64
AMD users this should be your settings
Nvidia users your AA samples should be 8xCS or higher (idk exactly what it is called in Nvidia panel) 8xCS should be light enough weight and give good image quality
You also may have to set your Anisotropic filtering to x8 for FPS as AMD uses a lighter weight algorithm (from what i know it may have changed) set it to x16 and if you have frame dips drop it to x8
Also make sure and format optimization is on as from my experience it does little to degrade image quality and more for performance. I tested on AMD with it off and on and there was no noticeable difference besides FPS.
Also, Adaptive Anti Aliasing for Nvidia is called TrAA
Part 2:
Now hopefully you have SweetFX and RadeonPro downloaded and RadeonPro installed
Extract SweetFX to a folder of your choice other than the game folder (i Suggest C:\SweetFX)
Install and Run RadeonPro
Click on the icon with a little green + and browse to your warframex64 executable
for steam users its under your steamapps\common\warframe folder
Also while your at it Click the check box by SMAA and set it to Ultra (not 100% sure is this will work for Nvidia)
Nvidia users may have to set SMAA to custom and set the values in the screenshot to get it to work (try it and let me know)
This will create a profile for Warframe
Now Click on the Gear icon next to the red icon
Go to the SweetFX settings and enable it, and set a toggle key (I made mine Alt+S)
Where it says SweetFX files location and click the change button and direct it to where you extracted your SweetFX files
Click Save once you are done
Now go to the Launcher Tab and where it says launcher select custom
under launcher details click browse and go to the tools folder where your warframex64 is and select the launcher.exe
AMD ONLY PART
Look at the images they should be simple enough to understand
END AMD ONLY
Now go to the SweetFX Tab and place a Check next to Bloom, HDR, Luma, Vibrance, Curves, and Dither
Settings for each should be (dont change any i dont list)
Bloom - Threshold 24.25, Power 1.300
HDR - Power 0.98, Radius 0.80
Luma- strength .78, Clamp 0.100
Vibrance - 0.25
Curves - Contrast 0.45
Dither - Method 2
Once all this is done right click on your profile in the left pane and click apply now (shouldnt have to but i like too)
Now open warframe and enable fullscreen mode (borderless causes issues with detection of the application)
now enjoy your spiffy warframe graphics :>
This will all work for AMD users, Nvidia users please let me know if any of this doesnt work for you
Nvidia users some of the Mipmap and LOD things can be done in your control panel or in Nvidia Inspector, try them out but i dont know how to use them or what to set
and one more time IT MUST BE RUN IN FULLSCREEN TO WORK

EDIT: My system specs are as follows
4ghz AMD FX 8120
8gb DDR3 1600
AMD Radeon HD 6970
