Hey guys! This is my first time doing an optimization video! Just wanted to put something out there due to the lack of content in this area.
There's alot of stuff I didnt touch on in the video like making sure Game Mode is enabled in windows, as well as overclocking and other tools you can use, this video is strictly what to do in terms of the game itself. If yall want to see more in depth videos on certain things let me know! Hope this helps someone and leave a comment!

If you’re on AMD you can still disable TAA with the config edit, but you wont have access to nvidia inspector for the dlss to dlaa tweak.
Depending on your system you might not want to use framegen, definitely test it for yourself, more fps is always better unless the input lag is unbearable.
Also, if running it as Admin doesn’t work just dont use it, it has something to do with the permissions on your pc or could also be something to do with your version of windows. Its to help with performance and mostly latency, but dont sweat it if it causes you issues.
Yes, dlaa is already available as a setting in game so technically you dont need nvidia inspector, but, in my testing the nvidia inspector override looks and runs MUCH better, ontop of the fact nvidia inspector is a great tool to have.
If you’re on a lower end system and really need the extra frames, dlss does give better performance at the cost of visual clarity and blur. With TAA disabled, just be aware ingame dlss is going to look pretty terrible because it relies on the TAA to compensate.
Lastly, the nvidia inspector tweak applies to ALL your games if dlss is available, unfortunately there isn't a way to set to a game by game basis atm, so keep that in mind.
Hi, what's your opinion on "negative lod bias: clamp" specifically? I can't make up my mind about it.
Based on the research I’ve done, it’s an extremely dated setting that most games now don’t take advantage of, and having it enabled (allow) can affect texture and aliasing quality, so setting it to clamp helps to prevent any visual anomalies. It’s one of those things were I set it to clamp and forget about it. If you look it up on reddit there are multiple posts that talk about the potential issues with having it set to allow
For the record I followed your video to a T, but ran into issues with the game crashing at startup. All I did was uncheck the 'run this program as administrator' for both EXE files and it now launches just fine.
I have a GTX 1660 did all you showed, i open the game and couldn't believe the results.
I wish i could give you more than a like and a subscription.
I appreciate you
@@s.l.4772 no problem at all enjoy!! Glad it helped :)
I would avoid framegen unless you're okay with more input lag. It delays a frame to generate the in-between frame. So if you're already low'ish FPS you're stacking input lag.
Atleast for me, I havent noticed any input lag. It does have to do with whatever your base fps is, so yes if your fps is low to begin with you might notice more input lag, but generally for a game like this more fps is king
I went from 60 x2 to 120 and it was insanely noticable input lag. Mouse feels underwater.
@@GFClocked if its that bad definitely dont use it unless you can learn to be okay with it. The increased fps will help the game feel smoother. It sounds like you might also wanna look into some input optimizations that sounds terrible
@@mellowistaken I just ended up lowering settings to low and using the regular 120fps. I'm very picky and in general 60fps is already unacceptable for me so I'm not surprised framegen didn't meet my bar
@@GFClocked fair enough, whats your specs if you dont mind me asking?
Thank you for the video. I wish the game would be better at explaining things. My FPS has been more stable turning down most things to low with not a noticeable difference in quality. As for objects, I noticed if I set it to low the polygon count of rocks on the ground would drop and would change once you get close to them. So I changed the object setting to high and it's not as distracting with the polygon count changes. Once again thank you.
@@hawk356 interesting, thanks for pointing that out! Imo that’s probably something you can just keep on low if that’s all it’s doing, it’s definitely not noticeable unless you’re looking for it. Glad the video helped! Enjoy :)
hey i did everything step by step and i actually lost frames, do you possibly know the reason why?
game looked good tho just not frames
@@jdnbyd Depending on your gpu i would try turning texture quality to low, and global illumination to medium if you have it set to high, if you have frame generation make sure you enable it as long as the input lag isnt too bad, and using DLAA with the nvidia inspector tweak can actually cause performance loss as its rendering at your standard resolution, so you dont get the increased frames that you would normally get with normal dlss, the game looks much better tho at the sacrifice of some frames. If you changed your nvidia control panel settings / inspector settings to mine, that may have caused some frame loss as i stated in the video i focus more on latency.
The TAA practically looks like it's disabled. So a win either way.
Glad it helped! Enjoy :)
@@mellowistaken Do the changes stay intact? Because I've seen someone claim that they get reverted once you enter online mode or something.
Also, thanks for the little shout-out regarding the F*ckTAA subreddit.
@@Scorpwind as stated before, the method posted in this video does not disable TAA but weaken it to the point where it looks disabled.
You cannot disable but you can tweak it.
@@Scorpwind yes! these settings stay! the other settings they were talking about are at the bottom of the post. what i go over in the video will always be in affect unless the developers change something. what @Scorpwind said
@@kn6836 It looks pretty much disabled to me. You'd get the same kind of aliasing if it was 'actually' disabled.
For some reason i cant launch the game as administator. It crashes after server connection
Huh thats odd. Might depend on your version of windows. If it causes issues just don’t use it. It’s mostly just to help give the game higher priority
Same. Noticed it with reshade, that may have been a factor. Had to untick "always run as admin" or whatever its called
I've got a 4070 Ti too but I'm not seeing those DLSS 3.1.11+ settings on the inspector. Same version of inspector too and latest drivers. What am I doing wrong?
It might have to do with how you are extracting the nvidia inspector. Make sure you closely follow the instructions on the reddit post. You want to extract both files in the same place
i get an error saying to lauch game with custom arguments M1-Steam When I click continue it just keeps repeating over and over
@@Seylle. dont run the game as admin
@@mellowistaken ok thank you that worked
off topic , but will the nvidia inspector be able to disable taa in days gone without breaking the HUD ? changing the engine.ini file breaks the game's hud and i know there is mod to disable taa , but that doesn't work for me for some reason
@@Exotic_Prem i dont think so unfortunately, i havent seen or heard anything about nvidia inspector being able to disable TAA. Most of the time TAA involves in game or the config file only
Dude that graphic settings at 2:30 saved me big time! whatever game I play my gpu would always only have 40% usage, I thought I have cpu bottleneck, that's untill I tried your graphic settings then boom my gpu usage is finally normal at around 99%. Thank you sooo much!
Windows is soooo odd. One thing i hate about it is you have to do so much tweaking to get the actual potential out of your specs. Glad it helped you enjoy!!
16:16 I myself would certainly like to see more.
Regarding your DLSS preset choice, why not use E and use DLSS Swapper to make sure everything running 3.7 (which now utilizes the E preset)?
@@CorvusCorviday I just personally havent tested it myself or got around to looking more into that. Maybe I’ll try it in the future here, thanks for the suggestion!
@@mellowistaken just gave all of this a try and the game runs so damn beautifully. i appreciate ya man. R7-5700G and 3060 12gb. Might give LSFG a spin but I really don't need to now.
@@CorvusCorviday awesome!! Enjoy :)
"Launch Game with custom arguements
The First Descendant is attempting to launch with optional parameters shown below:
M1 -steam
if you did not request this launch or do not understand these options, select Cancel."
This is what i get when i try and launch my game no idea why though any help?
Edit: Turning off admin launch makes it start now so no idea why i seem to have that as a problem
@@bearex8922 if it causes issues when set to admin just don’t do it
@@mellowistaken yeah runs fine without it and looks a million times better
For some reason i can't change advanced settings inside the game. This is locking my settings : some settings are locked for smooth gameplay. Any fix?
@@Gamito123PT I’m not too sure about that one I’m sorry. You mean advanced as in shadows and textures and stuff? Are you on a laptop?
@@mellowistaken yes advanced like shadows, etc. Yes im on a laptop but i have RTX Nvidia 3050 GPU and the CPU is a Ryzen 5 5000 series (also have the amd graphics ). I am able to play the game but its very strange that the settings are locked. ( only thing that was worrying me was the fact that the nvidia GPU was hitting 86°C degrees, people say its fine unless it hits 90+ degrees.
Other games like apex legends, counter strike, persona 3 reaload, etc where not hitting that GPU temperature. If i were able to change the advanced settings to low , probably my fps will grow and the gpu temperature will be able to go down a bit in The first descendant.
@@Gamito123PT i dont have a fix for that im sorry! when it comes to laptops i dont know alot unfortunately. i would try and do some research but if you arent able to come up with anything, my guess is the game is locking it due to you being on a laptop. i know thats lame but you might not be able to do anything if the game is forcefully locking it. you might also want to place a ticket for support to get some more concrete answers
@@mellowistaken a part from that thx for doing the video, i will try the settings when i get home 🫡
im on 3090 and cant use frame generation. Why?
@@kuroneko3616 are you on a laptop?
Make sure you have nvidia selected, as well has HAGS enabled in the window’s settings like i show
frame generation from nvidia is limited to only the 40 series rtx gpus, your only alternative is using the amd settings and enable frame generation there, just have in mind that atm having amd framegen doesnt let you use nvidia dlss which looks alot better than amd fsr
@@Revvlynhuh i thought 20 series and above could do it also with the lastest drivers
To revert you only need to delete that part you add on the M1 folder, right?
@@s.l.4772 yes, to revert the TAA changes you just need to remove those lines we added to the config file
good video
Enjoy!! :)
the game now looks super jaggy , not worth it for me looks terrible and i can't figure how to make it look the way it used to
@@saluqz if you aren’t happy with how it looks just undo everything that has to do with dlaa and the config file in the video and itll be back to normal
That's due to the TAA Disabling part. You have to really tweak it to reduce shimmering and at that point it's still practically on so unless you gain a massive amount of frames, leave TAA on and use sharpening.
"free frames" XD you do realize those inserted frames are 10x more garbled than even the temporal original ones? (and don't improve responsiveness of the controls) or am I missing something
@@daveprime7278 I would test it for yourself before you knock it. There really isn’t a visual difference, especially when you disable TAA and use DLAA like I describe in the video, and people who are struggling with fps can definitely benefit from having it on. In terms of latency yes it does cause some but it’s really not too noticeable. This isn’t an fps game so there is some leeway when it come to responsiveness. If you find other results please feel free to share.
shut up lard boy
Can I do this on a 1650 ? Or I’m cooked 😂
@@fitzgerald2702 you can do the TAA part! Unfortunately the dlss to dlaa with nvidia inspector only works on 20 series cards and above, but honestly removing the TAA is the most important and thats just editing the config like i show in the video. And since you dont even have access to dlss, you wont get the negative affects that comes with it when removing taa but keeping ingame dlss enabled
@@mellowistaken my brother, thank you very much for replying, after disabling the force TAA the game is running much better now since I only have 4gb of VRAM and my gpu is really old, thank you for making this Amazing video
@@fitzgerald2702 no problem enjoy! :)
