    With the new updates, they changed the names of the options of Post Processing; 'Low' before is now 'Medium.' Despite the name change, this setting still has the same significant performance impact as before, so keep it at Medium.

  • @blazingangel187
    @blazingangel187 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

    Post processing, volumetric lighting and transparency are by far the settings that affect performance the most, so if you're encountering lots of stuttering especially in open areas, make sure you set these to the lowest setting for a smoother experience

  • @SkeleTonHammer
    @SkeleTonHammer 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +31

    Really appreciate your videos. Not only is the testing exhaustive, but you seem to actually know what you're talking about and you describe/understand the settings correctly. A lot of people don't know what a lot of these settings actually do, and since I've been a game dev for 15 years and am intimately familiar with all of them, it can be frustrating watching other videos where they just guess at what they think a setting does.

    Man, I was looking forward to this video the whole day and you did not disappoint! Thank you, best AW2 optimization guide out there, I even like it better than the Digital Foundry one. Turns out that when you tweak the settings a bit, the game is not as heavy to run as it seems and it's a really small compromise to visual quality. Truly outstanding!

    I popped open the game two days ago and was disappointed by the performance on the same gpu, and didn't have the patience to try and mix and match the settings (especially that I noticed running into this problem where tuning the settings multiple times specifically DLSS, even after switching it to performance it works but the performance is horrible so a restart is needed.I've actually seen some people talking about having the same issue)

    The post-processing quality Has huge improvements to image quality when using upscalers, especially fsr, when used on high the post processing effects are applied post-upscaling, so it gets rid of a lot of the shimmering mainly present when using fsr even in it's quality mode, hence the noticeable impact on performance.

    Great work! Digital Foundry for some reason released an Optimized Settings video but it's trying to match the PS5, that's not what optimized settings means. You also included config file tweaks which is going above and beyond.
    I also came across your Remnant II video as well. DF is releasing more videos on console versions which I don't care about.
