Patch 3 was released yesterday and introduced two new CPU settings, Physics Quality and Background Swarm Size. It seems that these settings don't significantly impact visuals but may offer a small boost to CPU performance. And Since the game is often CPU-limited, I recommend lowering them, similar to Cloth Simulation. I might release a video to demonstrate how these settings affect performance and visuals, but I'll wait until DLSS and FSR are updated and Frame Generation is added.
If you have never played it before and are interested in Warhammer, 40k Darktide just got a big update and its super fun right now, would love to see an optimization video from you because apparently they optimized the game a bit :D
Pretty sure DLSS was also updated in that same patch. If you check the files, it seems the .dll file is now version 3.7. They also added a sharpness slider into the game as well which reduces the blurriness a bit from upscaling. Though I found around 30-50% seems to be the sweet spot at DLSS Quality. Also to note, I have preset E forced via nvidiaProfileInspector. Seems DLSS is worth revisiting now
I downloaded the game again. The new CPU settings make this game playable for me. It can still drop just below 60fps but I think I'm going to turn DRS on. You're right, you really can't tell the difference with the background swarm size, but it's possible they may run at half frame-rate to save on CPU usage.
When it comes to optimized settings he's better than Digital Foundry. If you compare this video to Digital Foundry's you'll see that Digital Foundry left out important details about each setting.
@@ImStillWoody Yes, I noticed because digital foundry was using a RTX 4070 and their optimal settings were Cinematic and high on Wukong, and not considering mid range GPUs or CPUs, for me was a super lazy video hahahha this man takes is time to compare all settings at once, and we can get a better idea on wich setting is best for our GPU
digital foundry has a lot of bloat, they talk a lot now a days, of you go to their first videos you just have comparisions and nothing else now a days they just talk, talk and more talking
Wow, very detailed explanation, even going into how different settings might affect each other, which updates are planned and showing clearly how the settings change. The emperor is pleased, brother.
No one will ever do it as plainly, and as detailed without spending too long, other than the necessary, explaining each setting. Thank you for your contribution. The Emperor commends you.
@@s2wuolf508 For upscaling, FSR2 is currently the best option IMO. DLSS is a blurry mess but if you don't mind the softness, it will offer the most stable image. TAA just uses FSR1, which doesn't look good.
theres something wrong with cpu usage, my 7800x3d always gets hot, even if i limit fps to 30 temps dont go down hahah, doesnt make any sense and never seen that before in any game.
Thank you for always bringing quality videos. When I see a game that I want to play and I feel that my PC will struggle to run it, I come here and look for help in your videos. May your channel always grow!
@@zumair6957 luckily (in a way) for this game dlss is kinda useless for a lot of ppl anyway and dynamic FSR is easier to put on to stabilise framerate to whatever ur cpu can handle like he was saying cause it sucks when the cpu bottleneck happens and upscaling is making u gpu get 90 fos then suddenly it drops to 70/65.
@@aidanmills7188 Tried that but sadly doesn't work with this game, Unless I use Image Scaling but that lowers the resolution which at 1080p just makes the game look terrible.
Wow this was such a game changer, my game was looking bad and struggling, now it looks amazing and its smooth asf edit: specs are ryzen 5600g, 2060ti 8gb, 16ram, nvme. it really was struggling on low, the dynamic FSR and having some of the less taxing settings on high/ultra made it really look awesome and run super good
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti CPU AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics RAM: 16 Im trying to optimize it so it can run. Mostly dont care about graphics
Great video, appreciate all the work put into it. I would note my personal experience though, Dynamic resolution on FSR seemed to cause some FPS choppiness and lighting issues(bright reflections from the floor texture) for me in some spots. Easily repeated by standing looking at an angle at the floor and walking around near the ship to leave for a mission. Switching to a set resolution(quality for me) fixed it. Core i9 9900K, RTX 3080(12GB) on latest drivers 565.90 for anyone who's curious.
Thanks to Your channel I can play starfield with great FPS without loosing much of graphics quality. And now Space Marine 2. Thank you so much SIR!. FOR THE EMPEROR!!
Subscribed! You ARE AMAZING MY DUDE!, I just build a new pc with 7800xt and I was so frustrated because of the shivering, I was like "damn that s why no one buys Amd gpus", I even wanted to retour the card, I am not the type of guy that understands all the settings and likes to play the game with default settings the game establishes for me.
Can turn on image sharpening from nvidia control panel. follow the path in reg editor Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services vlddmkm\FTS and Set EnableGR535 to 0.
I got 3060 TI.and tho it's not the strongest GPU, it's still pretty decent, and SM2 was the only game to complain about memory on max settings. But the game isn't that poorly optimized, especially when you compare it to the recent releases. I guess it just needs a bit more time
Oh man just found your video i have a 3060ti also and about to upgrade my cpu to 5700X3D with this guide it will be playable my poor 5600g is struggling. Just Subscribed and hit the like button. About to go and check out your other videos. Awesome job my guy.
thanks for the vid. i decided to fart around and just put ultra on everything(turned off motion blur obviously) and never experienced any dropped frames. awesome to see how well optimized the game is, but i'll be using your recommendations now.
Much appreciated, I must admit I'm just resigned to the "DLSS or slideshow" reality of current games, but the blur is so bad in this game I started looking for a solution. As a bonus your 3060 Ti rig is near identical to mine :D
Thanks for this. I can hit about 80-100fps, but I set these settings and locked it to 60 gsync on or off and the game feels great. I prefer GS as I don't like screen tear, but that's a personal pref. KUDOS
Have to say that they implemented FSR 3.1 and FG (almost) perfectly. This is the first title where I have found FG to be of use, even imput lag feels manageable on a base frame rate of 60+.
only youtuber worth watching about game optimization. no fluff, no bs, just straight to the point with gameplay and a 'here is what it looks like at the highest vs optimized'
Wow perfect timing 🙏 just in time for me to play tomorrow because i dont pay for early access! Though i would have tested it via "other methods" if i wasnt binging astro bot this weekend

My go-to channel for game optimization. No one does it better.
He really is awesome.
Glad I'm here then
It's ridiculous how good this intro was! Like you can talk so well, it's great to listen to.
Your optimized videos are more organized than digital foundry, best channel for this
When it comes to optimized settings he's better than Digital Foundry. If you compare this video to Digital Foundry's you'll see that Digital Foundry left out important details about each setting.
DF has been going downhill and getting really lazy. a lot of their optimized settings videos come out over a week late

now a days they just talk, talk and more talking
Thanks, man. Been waiting for this one.
Still surprised an AMD sponsored title didn't launch with FSR 3 or 3.1.
I know right. The devs said in a blog post they're adding it down the road though which is good.
everything about this game screams rushed on pc
Best channel on RUclips when it comes to optimizing games. Great work, been waiting for this
Wow, very detailed explanation, even going into how different settings might affect each other, which updates are planned and showing clearly how the settings change. The emperor is pleased, brother.
I was wondering why my game was running like shit. This channel is a gem

Right? No silly opening monologue with irrelevant details.
I can tell a tremendous amount of effort went into this guide. Thank you.
This dude has the word king in his username for a reason 👑 🎉
How the heck does this dude not have more subscribers? Stellar content.
My liege! Thank you for blessing us with this glorious guide.
The Emperor Protects.
Always come here for my game optimization vids. Thank you for the awesome video, as always!
FOR THE EMPEROR 🔥🔥
For a rtx 3070 ti, would you use dlss, fsr or taa for the upscaling?
@@s2wuolf508 For upscaling, FSR2 is currently the best option IMO.
DLSS is a blurry mess but if you don't mind the softness, it will offer the most stable image.
TAA just uses FSR1, which doesn't look good.
Even in death, I still serve. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!
@@benchmarking4386 what does taa use when ur using native resolution
@@cdproductions4865It uses the game's default TAA, FSR1 is only used when upscaling.
thank you man i completed the game with your sitting and it was amazing
This is easily the best optimization vid ive seen. love ur work lad
This game's the first time my 10700k hit a wall, this video is very useful, cheers.
Wait for day one patch
theres something wrong with cpu usage, my 7800x3d always gets hot, even if i limit fps to 30 temps dont go down hahah, doesnt make any sense and never seen that before in any game.
Always appreciate your optimization videos. Makes me feel.way more confident getting the settings right than I could do on my own.

what a great guide, follow it with my 4060 laptop and it runs great. ALWAYS the best benchmarks
What fps are you getting on that laptop? I’m running a 3080 laptop and am having some problems
@@PeterClute-xp7he 60 fps 80% of the time with those presets, lowest being 45fps. I am at the beginning of the game , probably
High quality and thorough, 10/10.
Thank you so much for the thorough guide! I hope we get more performance improvements from the devs in time.
Bro dropped a banger and thought we wouldn't notice.

I'd kill for a Sharpening filter in this game, At 1080p sharpening filters can make games look SOOO much better.
Try Luma sharpen with reshade
@@1GTX1 The problem with using ReShade is that it can get you banned in Multiplayer games which Space Marine 2 does offer so its risky to use it.
sharpen via geforce ...
@@aidanmills7188 Tried that but sadly doesn't work with this game, Unless I use Image Scaling but that lowers the resolution which at 1080p just makes the game look terrible.
My go to for optimizing my newly acquired games. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks bro as i've been waiting for this!
i love your content. Thanks
i recommend testing the CPU usage for every setting, especially for CPU demanding games like this
Thank you for what you do! Your video is so easy to follow and understand.

So good that i always came to watch your video even if i dont play the game. ❤

U are the Best man the only one that makes this type of videos ! Thanks
Love your channel man. Keep doing what your doing
Impressive breakdown. Really helpful mate
My man, can always put my trust in you to come out with the good shiz on time.
Super video, thanks for testing and sharing!
My life now is depending on this channel so keep going ❤
Been hoping and waiting for this
Thanks for the work dude for real.
Perfect test, no bullshit...
been waiting for ya the past 3 days haha, thank you benchking, FOR THE EMPEROR!
Love your breakdowns, thank you so much.
for better DLAA/DLSS you need to apply image sharpening in nvcp and force DLSS preset E with DLSS tweaks
So would that make it better than fsr2? Have a 3080 so wondering which to use after this video
@@xSabinx1 yep, it has realy great image quality with additional sharpening
how did you get dlss tweak working it keeps crashing the game for me
@@glue2065 I use GlobalForcedPreset and GlobalHudOverride to check current preset
Yea but DLAA gave lower performance compared to the other tools for sharpening. At least that is what he pointed out. But I could be wrong
Thanks to Your channel I can play starfield with great FPS without loosing much of graphics quality. And now Space Marine 2. Thank you so much SIR!.
