Love the quality consistency of your optimization guides

[DanteKOGTekken]

The King of optimization videos strikes again. Much respect

[AnalogFoundry]

I recommend bumping up some of the settings like Shadow quality and Global Illumination to 'Medium', and Foliage detail to 'High' and then use/engage dynamic resolution scaler (if you're not using DLSS/FSR) to prevent frame-rate drops. Global illumination on Low during dark scenes look extremely dark, the scene doesn't look 'right' if you will.

Great work. Thank you somuch but I noticed that medium reflection looks bad at 1080p. I have to set it to high. like in any other games, reflections usually show the actual render resolution which is below 1080p if you play at 1080p.

Now that I'm gaming on pc, your videos are essential. Thank you for consistently creating this content.

[TheIndianIdle]

FSR3 doesn't work well, hence that mod isn't very smooth. Lossless scaling is smooth though, I'm using that for frame generation.

[ZenTunE-]

Looks beautiful but all the post processing blur etc makes the game blurrier than RDR2 haha

You almost need to run at 4K or above to have a proper clear image

[JayUchiha]

It's crazy how modders seem to put in so much work to get modern games to perform perfectly.

[vaghatz]

Thank you so much for this, this game is a b*tch to run!

[ELFs]

Does anyone here know how to make the Nukem Frame Generation Mode in the game pass version?

[carolinagamer]

Awesome video as always.

Looks like I'll be turning the post processing down to low for the more clearer image.

[connostyper]

Companies should hire you and create presets with your name!

[MrBalrogos]

Variable Shading can give few fps but its not on every scene u looking at so keep it ON not OFF, also in benchmark of VS u would not notice any degradation of quality.

[clamatac]

Thanks a lot, you are my reference for optimized settings

[TeenPerspektiva]

I dont even care about this game and i watch this and leave like. Thats how good these videos are. If i ever consider playing it, i now know how i will do it

[HuggieWuggies]

it runs better on youtube and you not losing much

[fwae]

XDefiant for the next video please? Thank you

[Dushnila]

@BenchmarKing Do you have an optimization video with the Immortals of Aveum game?

[marcalbert]

Great job. I'm gonna try that framegen mod, could be helpful on my laptop. That being said, Optimized settings + 30/40 fps cap for this game is enjoyable enough to me 😆

[dawienel]

Exactly what I was looking for thanks for the work, man.
