you will want to enable hardware cursor, otherwise it feels very wobbly

Noticed a weird tearing issue when running Nvidia Frame gen. If anyone else is having this isssue simply turn off the setting and turn it back on

[apgdanielricardo]

For my PS5 dudes, it sounds weird but frame Gen made my fps tank hard lol
I would recommend leaving it off until a patch rolls out for consoles.

Dude, you got a voice made for lore and story videos fr 👌

[Kaneyane]

i've never seen this dudes face before. ngl handsome as hell thanks for the video man

I think most of these are optimisation issues from developer's end and have nothing to do with pc or console you cant tell me that my pc can run AAA titles of over 100gbs at 120 fps and cant run this one.

This guide boosted my game's performance IMMENSELY. I'm on a rig with 1660s and 16gb of ram, r5 3500, the standard stuff. I was surprised these settings worked like a charm for me. I did tweak the effects to low (high was too bright for me, too much bloom) and it runs well now.

fps generation is like a cheat code, from 40fps i went up to 70+ fps and turned up some quality options, still 70fps, thx man for the guide, i wouldnt know about this option existing if not for this video

[iPeanutJelly]

The game just straight up restarts my whole pc even on lowest settings and resolution. I have no clue what the problem is

[sojo]

you can also increase sharpness under display tab for more crisp look 🔥🔥🔥

[arrtea]

my observations from a low end system

set global illumination to medium to fix lighting on low settings
set shadows to medium low shadows are terrible
Intel Xess is way better than FSR u can go down to performance and it still looks better than fsr
and display settings has sharpness slider if things look blurry

[TruePower]

great video! no bullshit, gets straight to the point!

[candyxxy]

I cant enable frame generation in the nvidia section. (rtx 4080)
And if i turn it on on the amd section, the game just simply crashes anytime i press play.

[SilentSensai]

Thanks for the guide, but I would like to point out something and I think this will be the case for others, not for everyone, but for some depending on the HW.

I play on an ultrawide.
Intel i9900k
Founders 3080ti (Undervolted)

With Ultra Settings without RT, DLSS on DLAA I get around 65 - 65 frames in the city.
With your settings it is approx. 65 - 75 frames

The big difference here is really the image quality, that's a world of difference, I have no idea, maybe because it's a QD Oled, I know

For anyone with an Nvidia card, I can recommend turning V Sync and Gsync on in the drivers and turning them off in the game, which improves the ms response time

[yungshinobi]

The whole game crashes when I turn on AMD Frame Generation😭

[TimeGamesNow]

If you use Upscaling and it looks blurry use sharpening in display settings and you'll be good!

[cassidysummers]

Don't forget sharpness if your game is looking blurry/washed out!

[fergatoreyvirgo]

I hope some of the info from the video helps me with the performance on my GTX 970. Otherwise I think it's going to catch on fire.
Thanks for the video man, really descriptive.

[Thelordaa]
