Engine Scalability Settings on Launch

I do my development on a laptop- with a gtx650m, and needless to say- the higher quality settings give me a pathetic framerate in the editor, and ingame. I found the view distance and various other settings in the editor- but I’m not sure where to apply those settings to a build.

I tried searching the exact string “Engine Scalability Settings”, “Resolution Scale”. “UE4”, but it’s too early for google to give me any help. I feel like this has been explained through tutorials- but I still have a lot to watch, and really I just need to make sure I can actually use UE4 for development. Coming from Unity Free, I’m not super interested in great visuals. Having the option however, is very nice.
