This video has to be one of the best 'best settings' video out there. The sheer amount of data collection and the effort that has been put into it is so clear and I truly appreciate your work. Thank you!
Its been a lot of work for sure, but really happy to see a lot of people seem to like it!
5:59 That Revelio AD loved it!
Thank you for your hard work my guy!
Haha I was having a bit of fun with that integration, thank you so much!!
DLSS Quality for me took my fps from 30 to 40 at a mix of high/ultra settings to a smooth 60 fps in all places. I'm not sure why performance wouldn't boost for you, but it certainly does for me (and I've done a ton of testing between having DLSS off and on, recording varying performance in different places/times of day).
At any rate, thank you for the optimization guide! This game is amazing, but it really does need some performance patches.
same here.
Absolutely wonderful to see someone explain what they are doing and to show it in game to help us make informed choices without doing it ourselves.
Probably the best graphical settings video I've seen so far, I wish you could do a video like this for Steam Deck, it would definitelly get tons of views due to the popularity of valve's console
Awesome video!!! As always, thoroughly researched and tested! Keep up the great work
❤
Great optimization guide. Subscribed with the hope that you will do more of these in the future.
Appreciate the support! I absolutely do, already have a few planned
Your settings bought me from 31 FPS to around 40-50 in Hogsmead. Basically the difference between nearly unplayable to tolerable. Thank you. Everyone else is a decent 60-70
Thank you so much for your detailed review of all the options! Definetly one of the, if not the best optimization videos for Hogwarts Legacy. Got my sub for future game optimizations for sure.
Thank you for the kind comment and support! Much appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!
Is there a way to lower the games view distance quality or the render distance in general to be lower than the in game settings allow? Through a configuration file for example?
Thank you Sir ❤ Thumbs up and subscribed and comment for algorithm 😊
Your support is much appreciated!!
Subscribed, liked (and now commented) for the amazing effort put in, especially the fact that you did it for two different systems - massively appreciated the latter and hope your channel grows! Special thanks
Thank you so much!! Really means a lot :)
You are the first person I've heard not to like ambient occlusion. Not knocking you for it, I just never thought I would hear that opinion. Props to being original. C8
(I'm unfortunately the opposite, I love increasing the contrast in games, and having darker shadows means there's a subtler fall off. I like gradients. XD)
With the Ascendio III mod and these settings I went from a choppy 40-50 fps in Hogsmeade to around more stable 75 fps
You are a hero! Keep up the work. We really need these detailed vids
Thanks!
man you are awesome so much work in one video love you :D
Thank you so much!
thanks
This is called dedication you’ve earned a subscriber
Thank you so much :)
@TechGuides vsync on or off in the nvidia control panelsettings? would you have any special recommendations for a laptop with i7 13700HX (1.5GHz) Processor, 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM and rtx4060 ?
Hello bro
My pc setup
3060TI
i5-11400F
16GB ram
But my gpu is running 70-90% then I have drop FPS and cpu rise to 90 and gpu down to 30% can u help me with this ?
Quick question: how in the world do you avoid tearing if you don’t vsync or cap fps and you are not using any vrr display?? Also, are people aware that if the game engine is outputting 60 fps and you are running it on a 120 container there is a double-image effect?
What is the CPU of your secondary computer? I have a AMD Ryzen 7 3700x and it's causing issues when vtubing Dx I know there are so many programs I have open... I have more ram now. For the bare minimum though what should my CPU be?
This is how it's done. Very thorough 🏆
Got myself a 4070ti fps stays above 60 fps but game still stutters do you have a solution?
You are a saint ❤ I've been waiting a year to get a pc that actuallly can run this game and when I saw the video config I barely understood what I was looking at. The game runs better than I ever expected thanks to your dedication, I really apreciate it.
Much appreciated!! Glad you find this useful :)
In my experience Material quality effects the detail of your wand, that was the one I noticed the most.
Well done
Thank you!
awesome video. thankyou for putting in the hardwork so we dont have too. I have to disagree with you on ray traced reflections though, considering the amount of stained glass and reflective floors in the castle, having this on and set to high makes for a lovely interior. (At least in my opinion). Turning of RT relections just didnt look nice to me at all. its a hefty hit to fps but i personally think it looks so good.
im running a 2070 on a 2k monitor.. and i dont have great fps, but im willing to deal with stuttering because of how lovely this game looks wih good settings :) haha
Thanks for watching! I totally agree, RT reflections do look extremely nice but too bad you have to run it on high to get a nice effect.
This is fantastic
Appreciate it!
Хороший анализ со сравнением))
interesting that dlss was giving you issues. from no dlss to dlss quality enabled, it easily gave me an extra 30fps on average running the game on similar high end specs (5800x3D + RTX 4080). perhaps its a problem for some folks.
Yeah I just couldn't get it to improve performance... Tested and re-tested it even twice on both systems! But I've heard that with DLSS2.5 it might get better. I'll maybe cover it in a separate video then!
best video 👏
Appreciate it man!!
Fantastic video for PC gamers...../Subscribed!
You are a god
Again you do a great work here, please continue with these guides
as i've said on the bf2042 video, im fed up with some settings guide and ppl just saying "oh hey, leave everyone on low and you got performance" lol , i want the best Quality X Performance ratio man
I have just 1 question, why leave FPS "unlimited" and not capped to my (your) monitor max refresh rate?
thx a lot !
Thanks man! I don't cap at my monitors refresh rate because I barely ever get more than 240FPS ;)
@@TechGuides Oh k, but IF you cap to your max refresh rate I.E 144hz , do u believe there is a negative impact or doesnt matter at all ?
Well I can't test this myself but have read that capping can increase your input latency. Personally I prefer to just let it run as high as possible to get as smooth a performance as possible
HELP! I'm curious if you are having any major issues with stuttering in high populated areas like the scene you had with all the children eating in the dinning hall or Hogsmead. I get a wicked solid frametime line when I limit my FPS to 60 literally everywhere else. I use G-Snyc which is why I limit my FPS to 60 even though I technically get more than that and I also have a 120 hz monitor. I've noticed that no matter my settings, my 1% lows drop to 45 fps in Hogsmead just running around and it's not until I leave Hogsmead that it normalizes. Same thing in Hogwarts. My wife on the other hand gets the same smooth frametimes in certain Hogwarts areas that normally give me trouble and my system out classes hers significantly. At first I thought it was maybe my CPU since the highly populated areas, but reducing that option doesn't help and even on Ultra, my CPU doesn't go above 45% usage. I've got a Intel i7-10700KF, RTX 3080 10GB, and 32 GBs RAM. The only thing I see is the VRAM usage gets to 90%, but then it starts utilizing my RAM and your 2060 has less VRAM. I play on a 4k monitor so DLSS works well to help reduce the in game resolution and help me upscale.
I dont experience a lot of noticable stuttering if Im honest. But I think it might be very well a VRAM issue on your end. Did you ever tried running the game at 1440p instead of 4K?
@@TechGuides I did try it in 1440p window mode, but it still struggled in highly populated areas.
Id recommend downloading the ascensio mod. Its a god send for stutters, altough it ruins immersion a bit sometime but its much better than stuttering at the start of every duel
Problem with this game is the otpimization. I only get 60% 80% gpu utilization on it thus the low fps
Are you sure you properly tested DLSS? Because it makes no sense that you have no difference/lower performance with DLSS quality VS native 1440p. I mean if you don't get difference between 1440p and 890p resolution then something is really wrong. I gain a lot of FPS just switching DLSS quality on compared to using native at 4k let alone lower DLSS options like performance or ultra performance. Uplift in FPS is huge but the image ofc takes a hit as well due to lower renders.
Update to this video DLSS definitely works now just started it up frame rate almost doubles for me at 4k with a 3080 using dlss quality
Nice!
hello, cann you explain why the faces of npc's will not load?
Like not at all? Havent had that one sorry
My PC barely runs the game . My benchmark recommended settings is Low. Yet it runs fine on medium settings at 46-50fps . It's all I can do really since my PC is not ultra powerful
my specs are 3060 ti with i5 12600k, is it mid or high end?
Well pretty much in-between... That GPU has got a lot of VRAM so you can max those settings no problem!
My game keeps crashing for no reason on steam. I have a 4090 7800x3d and the exact same settings you've mentioned. Help please 🥺
i have 16gb ram and it consumes it rather fast... so kinda not possible to run it after that...
The game was essentially unplayable due to lag spikes no matter what settings I was using. Even the lowest (other than resolution).
I installed the Ascendio mod.
BAM. Ironically as if by magic suddenly I'm able to play on High settings with a reasonable frame rate.
Bearing mind I'm using a Core i7 920 processor from 2008 and a 980 Ti, this isn't bad.
this video satisfied my ocd and adhd on so many levels thank you
Mine too ;)
It satisfied my permanent back injury and chronic ongoing pain
Calm down
Can you help me?
System:
Ryzen 7 3700x
Rtx 3070
16gb 3200MHZ
Graphic settings don't make ANY difference for me. Sometimes ultra gets me more FPS than medium. I don't use raytracing.
My cpu utilization is at 1%
My GPU utilization in Hogwarts is at 50%
I get sometimes 60fps but mostly 45 to 50
I play at 1440p on my 1080p monitor using dldsr because native 1080p literally every texture looks completely blurry.
I tried everything. What can I do? I feel like my GPU should handle at least 80 FPS on high settings, especially because the utilization is so low. I want to cap the frame rate at 60 and be done with it but I can't
Are you sure XMP is enabled? You should definitely see much better frames with an RTX 3070!
Ur gpu 8gb vram is 2 low
ty so mucccccccccccch, this video really helps me, i used to have 40fps outside hogwarts and with this guide now i have +110, ty so muccccch ^^ like and sub for u :D
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
There isn't a big difference between low and ultra texture, is it?
Not at all, almost not noticeable
I wished that you included GTX series as well.
I do own a 1650 but doubt it would be able to run this game at reasonable performance...
@@TechGuides Does this game have bad optimization? Because I was able to enjoy Read Dead Redemption 2 with my GTX 1060
Reupload?
Yeah the first attempt had atrocious reach and performance...
I accidentally lowered the brightness of the game but I can't find it now
DLSS doesn't even give me a performance boost. I get 140fps with a fps cap no problem ( 1440p, rtx 4080), without frame gen too. DLAA is best anti aliasing. Granted my system is really high end but its odd DLSS does like...nothing. What does work is adding tweaks in the engine.ini and setting shader cache to 10gb. All stutter in Hogsmeade nearly gone, stutters when I first arrive and then none.
If playing at 4k would you reccommend using "medium" for Texture quality I have a 3080 with 10gb of VRAM and I'm not sure if it's enough on "high", game seems to use tons of VRAM and system RAM. I understand that the higher the resolution the more VRAM the game will use.
Do you experience micro stutters? I have rtx 3080 10gb and 5800x also 16gb ram
@@oneminuteofanything3757 I was getting them but I recently upgraded my CPU to a 13600k from an overclocked 8600k and then up to 32gb of ram this game uses so much RAM and I heard that fixed some people's issues with that. Now it's fairly smooth
Also RAM is super cheap and I realized in 2023 16GB isn't really enough anymore
No matter what I do my game crashes at preparing shaders every time i launch it
What are you system specs?
The real legacy is the optimizations that we made thanks to this video.
Much appreciated!
I have a 3080ti and i9, 16gb ram and it runs like shit at 1440 p with everything on ultra and Ray tracing with DLSS set to quality.
testing secondry system with a 7700k is kinda redundant
Actually testing a very CPU bound system is pretty relevant. Or do you mean an even worse CPU?
when I enable HA GPU scheduling, the game crashes every 5 - 10 minutes all the time, so I strongly recommend you to turn this setting off. I have i9-9900 KS + RTX 4080
hardware acceleration makes my game crash lol. i got a 4070 ti with the ryzen 7 7800x
I am now in the secret 5% club.
Thank you so much for the support, means a lot!
I get FPS improvements with DLSS
Not true, for the Upscaling, probably on a higher end system is worst but on lower end system choosing none is noticeably worse than having one of them enabled.
Well awesome if you see an improvement. I tested every single one and got nothing but worse frames
@@TechGuides i run intel's integrated GPU Intel Iris Xe.
Might be the reason though, those are not super powerful so the boost from DLSS could very well be worth it!
@@TechGuides it's what I'm thinking
I have watched countless videos and am sitll getting stutters my pc isnt even bad either Ryzen 5600x
RTX 2070 and 16g Ram why isnt this shit optimized at all game has been out now for almost 3 weeks still not optimization patches
same. I have a mid pc and I can barely play it lol. I can run squad and other high req games at 70-80 fps minimum most of the time.
What resolution monitor are you guys playing at?
@@TechGuides 1980x1080 I seen someone say on Reddit the game has a serious ram leak issue
Strange I also tested with "only" 16GB RAM on my second system but didnt get a lot of stuttering. Maybe speed is also important, is your memory running at XMP?
The problem with this game is the constant stuttering
Try the ascendio mod. Worked like a charm for me went from 40-50fps and constant stutters to 75 fps(my cap) and no stutters
Typically, you should ALWAYS cap your fps, as it will save power, improve latency and will make your experience generally more enjoyable. I recommend capping it at minimum 60fps, but go higher if your system can handle it.
Yeah when he said that I just stopped the video lmao. Capping your fps helps a lot with temperatures as well.
Im sorry but thats not true. Capping your FPS does NOT GENERALLY reduce input lag. In fact most often it increases input lag as Steve from Hardwareunboxed nicely expained: ruclips.net/video/VtSfjBfp1LA/видео.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
@@TechGuides thats facts, capping my fps, the game isnt as smooth. When fps isnt capped the game is so smooth
@@TechGuides That's true. It doesn't reduce input lag. But it does help a lot with temperatures. It's not a problem if you have a good cooling system, but for people like me, I don't like having my 2060 super at 81Cº just because my game is at more than 200 fps xD
@@TechGuides Actually if you are running windows @ 60fps and you choose uncapped or 120fps in this game you will have significantly higher input lag than having it set @ 60fps…
Ive been searching for 30 minutes for a test like this. God dam is drowned out by lazy guides.
Glad you found it! Yeah there is a lot of nonsense around...
Somebody give that company a good team of developers for Optimization. One of the worst Optimized game in history of all games after the Infamous Crysis 3.
The most annoying thing is,the game doesn't stutter for me,it's just the VRAM which is maxing out even at lowest setting and the shaders are not loading properly,leading to 4-5 seconds stutter the moment i go to other rooms or maps,otherwise game running at 50+fps. Worst memory management i have ever seen. I have never encountered, "Great video rendering with poor Vram usage" until i saw this game.
This game is the example of what happens if you have a team of designers and No dedicated team for Testing & verification and bug fixing
This is the worst optimization i've seen in a while. No way this should be struggling at 1080p with a 3060, 16gb ram and a 3600 cpu.
Meh. I just decided to get a 4090
Never disappoints 😅
wow very bad recommendations. Some of your Ultra settings that doesn't impact performance, are cpu bound... That means that this happens cause your CPU is just very strong, so for us the viewers it might have huge performance loss. For low end hardware you suggest DLAA, but this is available only for Nvidia gpus if i remember correctly. You just compare the performance presets not the actual image quality of the settings. Many of the settings you suggest can take much RAM to work, if you have enough (like 32gb) then you have no performance loss with your ultra settings, what will happen if someone has 16gb ?
It's better to compare graphic's quality, than simple FPS of 2 different GPUs. Cause cpu, ram, Vram can impact performance too if you have a lower end system. It could be better to remake this video with more accurate suggestions than randomly suggestions without a good methodology.
I used a i7-7700k on my low-end system to make sure I'm most definitely CPU bound and was also only using 16GB of RAM on that rig. I also showed visual comparisons of pretty much every setting that has a visual impact. There is absolutely nothing random about the suggestions in this video, much different to most other "guides".
9:03
I dont get it why whould you want that much fps on a non competitive game, this us the kind of game where you aim for visual quality while having stable performance, not where you want the biggest performance at the cost of quality.
I totally agree with you. However if your performance is mediocre to begin with you might want to know which settings you can still safely increase without moving into completely unplayable terrain. And a lot of people had issues running this game. On my system I could easily run most of the settings on Ultra and just enjoy the experience but not everybody has a 4080 ;)
