1. Deffered rendering
2. Shadowmaps

Both techniques require fast graphics card.
Shadows produced with set shadow shading on heavily depend on scene poly count. The more polys the bigger frame drop you'll get.

2 techinques i mentioned depend on quality level you set for them. The more detailed shadows the bigger frame drop. They also produce soft shadows.
