Dude I hope you know that you are an absolutely invaluable resource to so many of us. I feel like I've finally found the channel I can trust to give me optimized recommendations that fit within my belief of what an ideal gaming experience should feel and look like. I'm EXTREMELY picky about having a _smooth_ experience in games, especially considering the multi-thousand dollar investment that a high-end gaming PC is, and you're the *only* benchmarking channel I turn to now when first optimizing a game's performance. You are knowledgeable, consistently quick to upload around new releases, show phenomenal finesse in demonstrating effects (both singularly and in side-by-side comparisons), and most importantly: you are unwaveringly practical in your recommendations. You make my dollars go further and my ideal experience easier and quicker to attain, which in turn allows me to spend less of my limited time tinkering with settings and more of it actually playing the games I love. For all of that, I simply cannot thank you enough. I sincerely hope that you find every bit of success you're looking for with your channel and more.
@Salt Maker why do you miss people you don't know discovering by themselves the best graphic settings for they game? it's their game, just let people do the fuck they want with it, wtf.
Optimized Settings * Ray Tracing: OFF * Texture Filtering: 16x * Mesh Quality: High or Max * Shadow Quality: High * Shadow Cache: ON * Contact Shadows: OFF * Ambient Occlusion: SSAO * Volumetric Lighting: Min or High * Particle Lighting Quality: High * Subsurface Scattering: ON * Hair Strands: OFF * Rain Quality: High * Terrain: ON * Destructible Environment: ON * Screen Space Reflection: OFF or ON * Resource Intense Lighting Quality: High * Resource Intense Effects Quality: High - If you're facing CPU performance isues consider turning off Physics settings: (Graphics dismemberment, Copses Physics, Diverse Enemy Animations and Persistent Corpses) - If the game crashes, decrease the VVram usage by lowering Textures, Shadows and disable Ray Tracing
Thank you for making this video. I was having trouble with huge slowdowns in villa where you fight alongside Luis since there are alot of enemies spawning all at once. FPS got to as low as 30-40 from my usual 60. And the cutscene went as low as 20. But once I disabled the hair strands, my performance skyrocketed and it maintained a stable 50-60 both in gameplay and the cutscene.
i remember watching hardwareunboxed's opmization videos to get 60 fps on red dead 2. assassin creed odyssey and watch dogs region. they no longer make optimization videos because it takes emormous time and efforts to do such a video. now u do these hard work. thanks
The most demanding areas in the game are the village fight at the start of the game, and the return to it at night in chapter 5. What helps the most is having ray-tracing and the four physics settings disabled since it's clearly CPU bottlenecked at both points, but even then it only helps to reduce the impact and doesn't fix it entirely. Having those same settings disabled also helps in some other places as well, mostly where there's a lot of enemies at once.
Thank you!! I've been trying to run RE4 at a constant 60fps but couldn't figure out what settings were dropping frames, but thanks to you it finally does. Awesome work king!
I can't believe I'm just now finding out that FidelityFX CACAO results in a lower framerate, even if the boost is small. That's definitely the last time I'm following an optimization guide from Digital Foundry lol Switched to SSAO right after finding this video. You've earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks dude. :)
Appreciate it. Best optimization guide in whole RUclips / its true really/ no one makes this kind of proffesional video anymore except you benchmarKing youda Best.
Great video brother. I was going to create an optimization video for this one but I am too engrossed playing this game and found it to be already well optimized except for the village ambush which is heavily cpu bottlenecked and the occasional area stutter which you have already mentioned. I think you covered the settings pretty well. Great job.
I put some of these settings on and now all of a sudden the atrocious input delay I had has just disappeared, now I can play mercenaries. Great video I appreciate the help :D
There's a section in chapter 5 where the resource intensive settings really make a big difference. It's at the village, and in particular inside a small house next to the church. In this small house, if you have enemies coming at you and you're aiming... the FPS will tank down to high forties and low fifties. Probably has something to do with the way the shadow is being cast by your flashlight. However, despite this, GPU clock during these segments didn't boost up to the max and GPU utilization was middling (6700xt at 1080p). I thought it was my CPU at first (r5 3600), but I've seen others with 10900k and 11700k reporting the same thing (also with beefier GPUs than mine). It is true however that CPU utilization at the village at chapter 5 was higher than usual. Disabling the resource intensive settings fixed it for me, but like... AFAIK, the settings only affected this part of the game in which you probably won't spend more than 10 minutes in.
Same happened to me with a 4080/10700K combo. FPS went from 85 - 100, down to around 45 - 65 in Chapter 5 at 4K. Something with that section is off, or it’s just really demanding.
@@DylanZ1201 10900K with 4080, same thing happened to me too, other than the two last settings I didn't see any tweak, but CPU is not well utilized in this section, which seems to be more demanding as well..
Yep, chapter 5 when you come back to the starting village at night with the rain is kinda broken and something is tanking the performance there. I saw people with a 4090 being unable to keep 60 fps, so it's clear something is wrong
Your videos are excellent! Keep the good work. I also do technical analysis but I Have a different approach and I think your videos and mine complement each other very well
The Last of Us is part 1 for PC is out! I hope you'll make a video for it soon! Looking forward to it! I always use your recommended settings, and they've been great!
What a legend tier video my dude. I came here because I had insane texture LOD popping which made the game miserable for me. If anyone is facing the same issue, I found myself a solution that entirely got rid of the issue. Namely, you want to set your FPS to unlimited and use the vsync. This is what fixed it for me.
Recently got re 4 remake on my gtx 1650 laptop. Even after reducing textures, shadows and implementing fsr, my game was stuttering alot and it looked bad. After using your settings it works like a charm! I can actually play using high textures, just had to lower some visual settings and the game still looks and performs well without any stutters. Thanks for your guides!
❤thanx as always this is my go to channel for all my game settings add more games to the collection even some older titles will be appreciated not only from me
Just found your channel and after watching this video, it's an immediate subscribe and recommendation to my friends. Fantastic work with the presentation and detailed comparisons. What amazing value you offer with your videos. Thank you!
First time hearing a youtuber saying if you don't enjoy this video give a dislike 😂😂 lol bro i loved this video and going for your optimization good editing skills and a lot of effort subbed!
You are the best benchmark channel, Nice analisis with useful information. Thank you for your job and keep this channel on, because you are helping a lot of PC gamers like me :)
6:01 bro this saved me you have no idea how annoying it was, omg this ruined everything that i had it off and it also does nothing neither on neither off thanks so much you have my like
I've used this guy's settings in gta v and I went from 40-60 fps to around 70-120 fps amd it was insane, even improved how the game looks, hopefully this too does that
@@akmalrusydi2730 ryzen 5 3400, no GPU That part had a lot of ganado, so I set it to: - rendering quality: 80% - rendering mode: interlaced - render *something*: low 0 Gb
What a fantastic video. Keep up the good work. Only thing i would recommend is that you try and get these out within a day or two of the release. Im already 14 hours in lol
Buying a high end graphic card is only the first step. Following your optimization guide is the final and most important step to enjoy the game with smooth framerate

@@JagsP95 can i play this without playing any prior games?
@@starbez yes but it’s better if you have. At least play or watch re2 because it’s the direct continuation of that game
@@starbez Yeah tons of people played re4 has their first game

doing a service for all of us. keep it up!
This channel needs a lot more subs, literally used him for settings in so many of my games when I first got pc and still now
thank you for another optimization guide! cant wait for DLSS related video.
When the time comes when your channel explodes, I'm not even gonna be surprised. Quality content as always.
You saved my gamplay experience, mate!
I've always referred to you for graphical optimization.
Very detailed and ON POINT!

This video was incredibly useful! Thanks for explaining the settings!
Thank you for making these videos, I'm sure it takes a lot of time to make these!
at this point I'm revisiting your videos because your voice is so fucking soothing, good stuff
The video I always look forward when there's a new game releases. Much Love
thaaaank you my man, i was waiting so bad for this one

Hmm interesting, right now I'm still in chapter 4 , when I reach chapter 5 , I'll check it out , thank you for sharing this.
I had a similar issue during chapter 5 using the scope on the rain FPS went into the single digits, on other areas it works fine
Same happened to me with a 4080/10700K combo. FPS went from 85 - 100, down to around 45 - 65 in Chapter 5 at 4K.
