@viperpit-lr2rp are you talking about the fact of Reshade being whitelisted? cause if so then you can look it up, or if you're talking about the 1st half of the comment, its been publicly stated by BHVR that they won't manually ban people because of custom icons
& Even if you do get banned there is a high likelyhood of getting unbanned if you just explain what happened. They have measures to retroactively check what or how someone got banned.
@blackestmamba they aren't 0 risk, but they are low risk, it's like speeding by like 3 mph, realistically you won't get pulled over and given a ticket, but, there is still a chance.

This video is honestly unreal. I have a relatively expensive computer with a 3070 but have only been able to really run the game in low settings. This is life changing.

@@EddoPanamenyo DX12, animation quality (aka screen space reflections) shadow quality. Those are wild guesses of what could be happening, i tried every setting possible throughout my 3k hours of "experience" and seen MUCH difference when lowering animation quality (which gave me 40fps drops sometimes, on a 75hz monitor with V-Sync, for a comfortable 30 fps when a gen pops or a survivors gets downed (from my killer games), unplayable sometimes.

You should not be getting low setting performance with a 3070, I have a 3070 ti at 1440p and I get 120 fps on high or ultra settings, you may need more RAM or a better CPU? I am running a 5800X with 32GB's of RAM, and the game stutters a lot on a normal HDD, putting it on an SSD def fixed all the stutters I used to get. Make sure you do not run -DX12 on launch parameters, Kyto does have a lot of helpful info but he seems to not know what a lot of settings do, and -DX12 will not make your game smoother in most cases, it will actually make it worse.
I think its important to have shadows on to see the shadow of the killer (or survivors in some cases) when the killer mindgames while looping. It will depend on the map and which way the lightning comes from.
Make sure you turn Anti-Aliasing off, because having it on makes the windows of houses like on haddonfield more blurry making it harder to track the killer
I disagree, don't put it to 3 or 4 if you hate the "bluriness", but with the new implementation of FSR just max out the sharpness value and you're good to go. Plus if you're using Reshade you should never have any trouble with AA, i tested each value (in the gameusersettings) and the artifacts that you can see when disabled i find them way more infuriating than the so-said bluriness. IMO. FSR is a gift from the old Gods, use it.
@@heysvpra This game has good rendering, it barely has any artifacts, I don't see what there is to be bothered by. A bit of edges may be aliased, but you said it yourself, slap on something less agressive like SMAA in reshade and problem solved. It's a competitive advantage even, where as sharpening an already blurred image does nothing in that regard. There's a reason competetive games don't force AA. If anything, postfx sharpening makes the game look grainy which isn't looking too pretty either. Of course if you can afford to run 150% resolution scale then the stock AA starts to be comparable. You do you, but this game absolutely does not need such an agressive AA method like the stock TAA is.
*DO NOT ENABLE RESIZABLE BAR ON GLOBAL PROFILE AS SHOWN IN VIDEO* It will decrease performance in many older games and some newer ones. The Resizable bar section is just completely false. If it says YES in the System information, it means your GPU, CPU and Motherboard is compatible and is enabled in the bios. The driver will use this feature in SELECTED games (by nvidia) to get up to 10% better fps. However, nvidia doesnt really update the driver list of games that uses resizable bar, and thats where Nvidia Profile Inspector can be used to force enable Resizable bar on any game (note in many older games you will actually loose fps with this feature). If the System information says that Resizeable bar is not enabled, it means your GPU, CPU or Motherboard is not compatible or the feature is disabled in the motherboard bios. Using nvidia profile inspector in this case wont do anything. So guys; If your system supports Resizable bar, use nvidia profile inspector to enable the feature for Dead by Daylight (ONLY DBD! Or else this can decrease performance in other games). Compare the performance with an without Resizable bar to see if it helps performance or decreases it.
6:28 This is just the graphics preset in the ingame settings. Low is 0, Ultra is 3. I doubt it does anything if you have set the scalability values manually and have it read only. 20:21 Nice that you said this, I often see people recommending "Prefer Maximum Performance" globally and it makes me cringe. That would just up your gpu clocks and therefore power draw in desktop applications for no benefit.
thank you so much for this, it helped me tremendously and my eyes are at ease after changing the shades. love your content and always will, keep it up!
Some graphics settings like ambient-oclusion settings doesn't do anything for DBD and changing it on global setting can fuck some games (especially old ones) so I wouldn't recommend to change. Low latency mode is kinda broken and can add more latency depending on your setup of vsync,gsync and other things that mess with frames. You don't need insanely low latency for DBD anyways so off is fine imo.
Kyto...this actually helped me so much. I can now have insane graphics AND insane performance. If anyone is wondering whether or not they should watch the full video, YOU SHOULD!! YOU ARE A GODSEND THANK YOU!!
Thanks Kyto! Finally upgraded my PC so hit a lot of these up and it is crisp! I do not like reshaders as I like the dark horror game feel, but performance and graphics has been amazing. Thanks
A higher frame cap than your refresh rate is still beneficial as it lowers your frame time. You can then keep Vsync on to avoid screen tearing but that does hurt your frame time slightly. Great video
Holy crap dude, my game looks so much friggin better! Awesome video. Thank you! Also the game runs so much better now. Used to be little janky but now its smooth as butter.
FSR on console is actually pretty good. I'm glad they added it. Also, these tips are great for any games. I didn't know half of this stuff. I typically had my PC running at high performance in game mode, which is why I always stuck to console because my CPU was probably screaming. Now, I can probably go back to PC gaming. Thanks!
25:56 I feel that its important to mention that you should edit the balanced plan and put a 0 in the "Turn off hard disk after" option. Even if you don't have a Hard Drive, it's still a good idea.
The Ultimate DBD Optimization would be for Behaviour to return any semblance of atmosphere and ambiance to the game. It's been half a decade since this game felt anything like a "horror" game - all in the name of balance and competition. Reject modernity, embrace the immersive asymetrical slasher.

It seems nvidia filter no longer recognized the game prior to the recent ver 8.2.0. Now its very hard to see from dim brightness and its not good at all.
PS for the direct X 12 option Even if you are on a low end pc try it if your gpu supports it. Im on a 7 years old laptop with 940mx(imagine it like gt 1030 for laptops) and because my videocard supports dx12 I decided to try it. The game runs much much better and when I tried the sm3 option, the dx12 ran better. I havent tried the other direcr x 10 option but because my game runs good I wont touch it Also I recommend the smaller hud because I play on 720p and it makes the hud look like 1080p lol
As a console player i only change the tv settings to the highest brightness it works like a charm especially in mid witch map spot survivors more easily and survive the nightfall more easily not bumping into walls

this is great, the graphics are much clearer and look far better with no performance drops, however the character's hair looks crosshatched and i dont really like the look of it. is there a way to change that? what setting would be in control of that?
