for me, your video upload is the actual release rather than the steam countdown lol, the massive difference proper optimization makes is worth the wait and thank you.
it's honestly not that hard, work your way from the top and lower each settings and see what options give u the best fps :),nonetheless this guys does a great job , keep it up buddy :) i have a rx 6700 non xt and play it with locked 60,no need for higher fps anyway :)
One note on Shadoe Quality, there are cave areas and outdoor locations that don't get correct lighting on Medium. If you can spare the FPS, bump Shadows up to High.
@@evanwiger which mod (lukefx or nukem)? im using lukefz 0.10.4 and it work great (from 70 fps to 110) with my 3060ti. And by using mode "replace_dlss_fg" so it can use dlss+fsr3 framegen without waiting dfor fsr 3.1 to release.
Thank you for the guide and going over the settings in detail. I was worried having a 3060ti using 1440p monitor would be an issue when their recommended is 3070 for 1080p. These changes have me consistently at 60fps (bless dlss)
Hi, I've just discovered your channel... I really appreciate what you do to help people with modest systems figure out how to run their games better... Dragon's Dogma 2 seems to be a new problematic one... would be nice if you can look into that game at some point... although the game is also plagued by more issues other than the pc performance itself... but I'm hopeful that this could be improved in the upcoming patches.
Hello and welcome to a hopefully fruitfull journey with the channel, as for Dragon's Dogma 2, because of it's current state, an optimization guide will not help at all, the game needs to be fixed by the developers first, maybe in the future things will change.
You did a great job showing the differences between settings and made quantifiable recommendations. While the game owns the responsibility of providing such a robust suite for settings management, you were able to take advantage of this feature to make great content. Subscribed.
You absolutely have to set x16 aniso filtering in every single game cuz it has zero performance impact while x16 makes distant textures more detailed.Can be hard to notice,but there's a difference.Aniso filtering usually costs a few mb of VRAM
Good to know i was talking to my friend yesterday about you haha i appreciate how fast you are with these videos keep at it and one day you'll blow up i also suggest you do optimized videos on games that are blowing up this way you'll reach new people faster@@ZykopathOfficial
My game was stuttering badly which was weird cause I have a pretty decent PC, then I used your optimized settings and it's SO smooth now. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU'RE AWESOME ❤
most important for low and mid cards to set shadow to medium, with my rx 6800 it let me play at 4k 60 fps with fsr dynamic at stable 60 fps on all settings high except shadows, dynamic upscaling is also better than focusing on quality or performance since some scenes need more and some less power, and dynamic setting works amazing
Im writing this bc probably someone have same parts as i do. So i have ryzen 5 5600x, rtx 3060 12gb, 32gb ram. Ive set my resolution to 2K and ive used his settings from the video, but ive changed my dlss to performance (bc youll get fps and there is literally no difference even comparing to quality setting) and i can say im pretty happy with how my game runs, bc i get over 60 fps, even over 70 in areas like jungles and forests, in deserts probably even more i didnt check. So if any of you are trying to setup ur settings with same or similar components, heres a tip. Hope it works out for you too. 🙂
I must say, i'm starting to like the idea of 21:9 apect ratio, it feels way smoother and gives really cool cinema vibes. I have almost same specs as you except cpu and monitor. Thank you and great job. ( i'm patiently waiting for your optimized settings for ghost of tsushima when it drops on pc :) )
Textures on very high can demolish fps on my 6700xt, it feels as the game is using more than 12gb, as the fps halves, gpu power drops, and ram utilization goes up. I recommend to keep it on high, it looks pretty much the same and causes no issues.
@ZykopathOfficial yep, during the first opening scenes, when aloy is traveling around the world, when the game is showcasing all these different locations, it crashed on my 6700xt. A minute before the crash, I saw ram usage at 26gb, I have 32, so it probably filled up the ram as well, which indicates to a memory leak. Anyways after switching the textures to high, I had no issues in the intro, went through it with no fps drops, or crashed. It is worth noting that I am playing at 4k with fsr set to target 60fps, so my vram utilization should be a little bigger than what you showed here.
This is at the very least Digital Foundry level of quality, if not better. All that within 2 days of release when they can take up even a week or two. Nice work man.
Really appreciate the comment, means a lot, and thanks, I always try my best. It's nice when a small channel like mine gets compared to a huge channel like Digital Foundry.
You are amazing. Thank you. I will replicate the settings once i get the game. Also thank you for runnning the game on "reasonable" hardware as i`m running an RTX 4060 backed up by a R7 5700X3D and i guess i can expect comparable results, maybe +10 FPS even
Not sure what I missed on my own. But you saved me dude lol. I was getting 30 fps dips and it was very jarring. But I implemented your settings, and it worked like a charm. Thanks dude!
You right here. This game make me feel like playing ubisoft games. Always skip the whole cutsence and skip the boring storys..... Just playing, running, climb, and killing....and unistall
@@ZykopathOfficial This is the first time i have seen it having such a heavy hit to fps, i have a R9 5900x 64GB of ram and a Rtx 4090 on a 1440 p 32;9 screen (5120x1440).
This was THE BEST video I could ask for, even better seeing that I have just a slighty more powerful rig so it should be fine. Thank you for this in depth guide♥️
1:13 Tripping, SMAA at 1440p looks nearly flawless. You either have dynamic res on here, or forgot to disable the sharpness settings when showing off and smaa. It should not look that pixelated. This game barely has any aliasing to begin with, DLAA and TAA are overly strong and destroy details for no reason here. Y'all dislike the sharp image, then proceed to slap on heavy sharpening to fix DLSS blurriness, resulting in this 3:22 deepfried, oversharpened mess that looks uglier than any shimmering ever could. But besides that, great useful video 👍
RTX4070 user here, I have a 2560x1440, 60Hz monitor (no GSync) and found that MAX quality using DLSS (Dynamic) works great. It pretty much locks to 60FPS and I don't notice any visual difference so if the RESOLUTION is dropping it's not enough to notice. Your Graphics card FAN NOISE might be pretty high though if you end up close to 100% GPU utilization using Dynamic (or running with no FPS cap). I have a modded card (with Noctua fans) so it's dead silent, but if your fans are noisy then I'd do something like THIS: - optimize visuals around 80FPS average - then use VSYNC (i.e. for 60Hz monitor) or set a manual FPS cap (if you have VRR/GSync) to hit 60FPS That should keep the GPU closer to 75% utilization and much quieter... this is what I was doing to keep the noise down before I modded my stupid Asus RTX4070 Dual OC that was noisy in demanding games.
Fantastic video. I also found I was getting stuttering/lag until I turned off the Controler input settings on Steam and turned down the game controller speaker volume setting to 0 in-game. Seems wireless PS controllers current have an issue in this game.
Wow , this game is actually more scalable than I'd have thought! Now have a 4080 Super so I have enough GPU power to run 4k60+ maxed with DLAA but it's good to know I'd have had a good experience with my former oc'd 2080ti (which died) at 4k with your tweaks and DLSS Quality.(Im think 50-60+ fps @4k) Heck I've even seen someone benching a 1080ti at high settings and getting 60+ at 1080p and 45+ at 1440p native which is absurd for a 2017 card on a 2024 AAA open world game.
Another comment - the dynamic res scaling system in this and Horizon Zero Dawn is the best I've come across in PC , so I'd turn this on and let dlss catch the frame drops from 60.
for me, your video upload is the actual release rather than the steam countdown lol, the massive difference proper optimization makes is worth the wait and thank you.
This means a lot, thank you for your support!

You're very welcome, and enjoy both games!!!!
yay. I got one too!

One note on Shadoe Quality, there are cave areas and outdoor locations that don't get correct lighting on Medium. If you can spare the FPS, bump Shadows up to High.
I really wish I had the spare fps to do that!
I am gonna fsr 3 frame gen mod on 3060 before pumping shadows back to high
The mod doesn't work. Gonna have to wait till either the mod gets updated or the game supports fsr 3.1@@Intrinsic16
