I use your guides even with good pc because of the state of the games that comes out right now and also why not to give yourself performance boost with minimal visual changes and with your guides it’s easier than ever

    When the game launched on steam and I finally got my hands on it and digged into the settings to tweak, first thing that came to my mind is that "Let's check if BenchmarKing already covered it or not". And all jokes aside, whenever I start a new game first thing I do is checking your channel for the best settings. Appreciate it, good work! :)

    • @benchmarking4386
      @benchmarking4386  11 месяцев назад +2

      Yes , even though it's an old Version (2.4.2) DLSS looks excellent and the game still needs more work and optimization to improve the CPU performance in crowded areas.

    Your channel is once again absolute gold. Digital Foundry yesterday released their video and said they found no noticeable effect from the Animation setting; I was absolutely certain there was going to be one when the crowds got bigger, but they didn't bother waiting to reach the city and test it out (probably to not miss out on the attention by making the video too far from release). I really appreciate your dedication in fully exploring potential areas of struggle, this makes your work immensely helpful.

    • @quocsipham714

    • @yavorvlaskov5404
      @yavorvlaskov5404 11 месяцев назад

      @@quocsipham714 Honestly the game is somewhat less demanding during battle, as it automatically switches to a point-down perspective and I imagine it does a lot less background rendering. Most combat situations are not in the middle of a big pack of people, the biggest one I have experienced so far (just starting act 3) in the towers was a bit laggy but I doubt it was due to the animation (which I imagine would be on the GPU) and had more to do with CPU constraints. Maybe BenchmarKing can confirm that, I am just making a somewhat educated guess, but I stopped tracking my own performance after fiddling a bit at the start of the game.

      This is something i noticed a long time ago tbh. When digital foundry reviews the performance in a game they never play beyond the 2-3 hour mark and it's a reason i take their performance reviews with a grain of salt. Don't get me wrong they are really competent but game performance varies wildly throughout the game and that's information they simply never give

Have a 3060 and Ryzen 7 and no matter what I get VERY frequent stutters and fps drops but no matter the settings changed I get roughly the same performance. Doesn't help that I'm not very good with computers either so I don't really know what I can do to fix it nothing seems to work. This is so weird to me as virtualy nobody has complained about performance in act 1 and 2 so I can just imagine what act 3 is going to like like for me...

    This test is good! I just got a 3060Ti just like in the video, but with a 11th gen i7 and 32GB RAM and on 1440p.
    The reason I'm looking at this is because I noticed a few frame drops in the hollow near the start and the graphics don't look at good as I would have gauged from watching gameplay on youtube.
    I have everything on high and even ultra, but that's the way it was preset at the start. I turned on V-sync and anti-aliasing, but I still notice some jagged geometry along curves and especially the hair, but thin things like foliage and hair appear still appear aliased and blotchy. Any tips?
    EDIT: I think I have it on SMAA, I will try TAA or DLSS/DLAA. Great video!
    EDIT2: It worked! For some reason I have to re-set the settings every time I boot up the game, but TAA+FX and FSR off made the graphics looks SO much nicer! The other settings are as you suggested, but this is the main thing I think. Thank you. Although I got frame drops again after 7 hours of playing again back at the hollow

    As someone who loves high frames and good graphics equally this is a game where I've no problem having a lower framerate if it means it looks better. Since it's turn based it could run at 30 and it wouldn't be a big deal since timing is never a concern.

      @Homiloko2 9 месяцев назад

      I was having an issue with stuttering which is a hassle no matter if the graphics look good or not. The important thing is consistency. This guide helped a lot and then after tweaking your settings, I recommend capping the FPS according to your preference (like 60fps, or 30fps like you said). No matter how good your graphics look, getting rid of stutters improves quality of life immensely.
