Also holy crap thanks for this. Really like that you showed each individual setting and explained mostly what it does. Tired of videos that are just "Yeah setting everything to low gives like 20fps more than high, idk there ya go."
Even worse when these kind of repetitive videos on all games get ton more views than this actual optimization guides. TH-cam algorithms really sucked at this to differenciate between brainrot and quality contents. 🤷🏻♀️
There is a hidden Sharpness option inside the Display tab, that is set to 0 by default, I strongly recommend checking this option and increase it, the game will look a lot better and less blurry! Thanks for the video, great as always 👍
Good! This channel to the rescue as usual. It's so rare that this kind of through comparisons and research happen nowadays it feels like a blessing against all those channels recommending either running everything on low or some other tricks that could fall into the esoteric category haha.
The GOAT of fps guides. BTW the game seems to have a vram memory leak when enabling frame gen atm so avoid it until they put an update out resolving the issue. Also thanks for putting a guide out for TFD. Wasn't expecting it so soon after requesting it
Thank you so much for explaining each setting and showing both the visual difference and FPS impact, and giving a recommendation for each. Helped to tune this well on my 6700 XT.
Great optimization guide! 1 thing I found on Reddit which might be useful for some players: If you are crashing while using Frame Generation just close every program that can capture your screen! - For me it was Medal TV - I closed it and the game works with FG. Also don't afraid to set Anti-Aliasing to Ultra with FSR3 + FG since the game will be less pixelated. (The better the GPU the less blurs and pixels you will see ofc.)
I just follow your optimized settings with DLAA, medium ray tracing + ray reconstruction, with frame gen, the game runs at 170+ fps consistently with 4090 + i9 13900k, graphics is incredibly crispy and beautiful. Previously with everything ultra I was only getting 100-120, great improvement without noticeable visual downgrade, amazing work.
Was not expecting the king to make a guide for this game, I love you my guy. Also any chance for you to check back on dragons dogma 2? As apparently there has a been a lot of updates that help. As I would love settings for that game. If not then who would you recommend for optimization for games you won't or haven't done.
I want to make a video for Dragon's Dogma 2 covering the latest update; I just need some free time to do it. As for an optimization guide , I don't think there is any TH-camr who has made a dedicated optimization guide video for that game. However, there is a website pcoptimizedsettings.com that I believe has covered it, though I'm not sure if it will help with a CPU intensive game like Dragon's Dogma 2.
you are my savior. i was literally about to quit playing because the game was so demanding. These settings kept the beauty and took away the jagged and painful parts! Not sure how to explain other than you made my gaming experience so much better, and my PC isn't trying to burn itself down haha
I'm primarily a console gamer but I have been gaming on my Gaming Laptop recently playing The First Descendant. This is an excellent video on graphics settings for us newbs, Thank You.
a good stress test would be the white knight map and the 4 pillar mission with all spots activated at the same time. There is ton of enemies at the same time and the map itself is a frame drop mess. Good video btw :)
So what did you settle on with DLSS and Texture settings? I assume you settled on off for DLSS but Textures you said didn't make much difference so just leave it on Ultra?
Great breakdown as usual. I want to add that while all the recommendations are good, the game performance completely changes after you're done with the story (Normal Mode). You'll be playing better and faster and there's going to be A LOT more stuff on the screen. Especially in a full party. Prepare to use some heavy upscaling unless you have a beast of a PC.
I just wanna mention, this game uses your fps to calculate your weapon fire rate, so your dps goes up the higher your frames are going from 30 to 120 is around a 25% increase in overall dps with most high fire rate guns. but going from 90 to 120 is only like a 5% increase.
I think from now on you should make two separate optimized settings, quality prioritized and performance prioritized. Shadows on medium looks awful compared to high, but high still runs better than ultra. Just a little idea :) Keep up the good work!
I would advice to test different DLSS quality levels with this game. The idea is, on my setup at 1440p both Balanced and Performance produce extremely good results, it might be comparable to Quality, so you could offset performance loss from turning RR on by lowering DLSS preset if you wish. And imo RR is desirable in this game due to various IQ improvements, picture looks more stable with it, especially when i.e. something like hair considered. Try testing it on Ultimate Bunny and you will likely see the difference on her hair.
My setup: R5 3600, RTX 4070, 16GB DDR4 3600Mhz and I'm having several FPS drops. The game recommends me to play high, but even though I test it with everything at a minimum, it doesn't change. My monitor is 29 ultrawide (2560x1080). Obs: The game is installed on a nvme 5000MB/s.
I have Radeon 6700XT. I play at 3440x1440. I have 150 FPS on fields. Some settings on ultra. My secret is FMF2. If you have atleast 6000 series card you can try it.
1440p with Ultra settings, DLSS Quality, FG On, RT Off = absolutely incredible gameplay and visuals on a 4080 Super. 200+ fps when running around with Bunny is recommended lol
The object quality is tricky. Going from low to medium can hit you for 30 or more fps in certain maps when you zoom in with a weapon and it loads extra geometry... i had to set it to low to avoid this issue in my computer.. from 90 to 60 fps for zooming in is not a good thing, setting it to low means going from 90 to 85 when zooming...
DLSS Frame gen has а memory leak. It constantly switches back and forth when you enter and exit the menu with a second freeze. After several hundred visits to the menu, the memory leak can be more than 4-5GB of video memory for just one frame generator, so you will have no memory left for other game resources and FPS will drop catastrophically. This is a new bug in the latest patch. And absolute specular reflections with 100% accuracy are only available with the RT ULTRA + RR setting optional (ideally visible in the mod improvement room on the floor), otherwise the usual SSR + Cubemap.
Perfect settings, my only issue with this game is the random ass frame drops i get ... theses freezes are really annoying as hell especially in boss fights ... still can't figure what the hell is wrong but since im far from being the only one i can only guess its a gift from the dev's lol
if you plan on doing alot of group content. the "Effects" part of the video is a bit misleading considering this applies to ALL descendants in the area. including your group. so youre going to see a massive chug in performance
Interesting. For me, ray tracing set to high (with ray reconstruction off) takes my FPS from 81 to 59. (I have rtx 3080, and Vram goes from 6.8GB to 7.4GB. So still some left until the 10GB cap)
great work as always! very thorough and helpful did you try testing enemy ragdolls for the "physics" setting? I suspect that's mostly what it's for - and likely CPU related
Thank you for the detailed video, the game looks much darker if the global illumination sets to low and I have to set it to medium so I can see more clearly. Aaaaand I wanted to ask something, when I turn on the frame gen & FSR my camera is kinda laggy like a smoothing effect on another game, is it because I'm using RTX card?
Very interesting video. It'll be a good way to try to improve the game though after testing the frame generation to improve the smoothness, the game look garbled. Admited I had to use FSR and not DLSS (I can't use it) but on "performance" it look kinda disgusting and even made my game crash. I'm gonna need to see how much it's worth. Though I wish loading times weren't so bad...
finally, someone explaining each settings yt was filled with max fps videos for this game
Also holy crap thanks for this. Really like that you showed each individual setting and explained mostly what it does. Tired of videos that are just "Yeah setting everything to low gives like 20fps more than high, idk there ya go."
lol, this is exactly what other videos are, always the same useless "set GPU high power, update driver, set everything to low in game."
Even worse when these kind of repetitive videos on all games get ton more views than this actual optimization guides. TH-cam algorithms really sucked at this to differenciate between brainrot and quality contents. 🤷🏻♀️
Finally you put it up!!!! Was waiting for this because of how detailed you are and you actually explain what the settings are.
There is a hidden Sharpness option inside the Display tab, that is set to 0 by default, I strongly recommend checking this option and increase it, the game will look a lot better and less blurry!
Thanks for the video, great as always 👍
DLSS on Quality, AA on Low, and Sharpness on 1 or 2 got the best result for me
Thank you! My game looks so much better now!
No lo encuentro 😢
@@varinhassj3 The Display option is located between Audio and Keyboard & Mouse, inside the Display, you can see a Sharpness slider.
Sharpness is not a solution for Post procesd AA blurryness
I always appreciate how detailed your videos are, and the inclusion of the overall settings summary screen. Thank you!
How didn't I find this channel sooner? GOLD information here! Keep up the good work! 👍
Good! This channel to the rescue as usual. It's so rare that this kind of through comparisons and research happen nowadays it feels like a blessing against all those channels recommending either running everything on low or some other tricks that could fall into the esoteric category haha.
I have never seen such a great detailed video for graphics settings in games except for this channel, i love this channel
Another one 😎 Thanks for taking the time to do this for us!
Anytime I get a new game, you are the first person I look for on TH-cam for guides like this. Thanks for the quality info time and time again! (:
The Physics settings affects mostly cloth physics detail. Great video as always.
Maybe even ragdolls after killing&destroying enemies/objectives
Omg was waiting for this one!
Best guide for this on TH-cam. Thank you.
The GOAT of fps guides.
BTW the game seems to have a vram memory leak when enabling frame gen atm so avoid it until they put an update out resolving the issue.
Also thanks for putting a guide out for TFD. Wasn't expecting it so soon after requesting it
Thank you so much for explaining each setting and showing both the visual difference and FPS impact, and giving a recommendation for each. Helped to tune this well on my 6700 XT.
Always very thoroughly tested and explained. Thanks a lot !
Great video as always. Always my go to channel when it comes to optimizing frames while keeping the game looking decent
Great optimization guide!

Hahaha I was waiting for this to come out! You’re definitely my go to guy for pc specs
This video is just perfect, thanks man for this amazing work !
Great guide, shows everything, gives recommendations, and explains.
Как всегда отлично! Очень ждал твое видео! Спасибо.
this video is great. Thanks for breaking it down for every setting. You are the real MVP!
I have been following you for months, your videos are always excellent

This dude doing gods work right here.
Great job man was looking for this breakdown and was having a hard time finding it then your vid popped into my feed
you are my savior. i was literally about to quit playing because the game was so demanding. These settings kept the beauty and took away the jagged and painful parts! Not sure how to explain other than you made my gaming experience so much better, and my PC isn't trying to burn itself down haha
Thanks for the vid, much appreciated.
thank you, with this optimization, I can go from DLSS performance to balanced while maintaining the same FPS.
I was waiting for your video, you have the best optimization guides in all youtube !!!
I'm primarily a console gamer but I have been gaming on my Gaming Laptop recently playing The First Descendant. This is an excellent video on graphics settings for us newbs, Thank You.
Noo way, I was waiting for this!!!! I had to set my own settings and test all but I will compare with yours
That's why it's good to have a console and a pc... It's a win-win situation in such matters.
Is it just me or does nanite/lumen seem completely unworthy of the performance hit
Agreed.
Of course, if you can't notice the difference at the first glance without the side-by-side comparison, then it definitely not worth it. 🤷🏻♀️
Pretty much in most games. Perf needs to get better to take the weight of it
which setting affects this?
I have been waiting for your optimization video for this game, many thanks!
a good stress test would be the white knight map and the 4 pillar mission with all spots activated at the same time. There is ton of enemies at the same time and the map itself is a frame drop mess. Good video btw :)
Great video! Thank you for putting this together!
Thank you so much ! great video and u deserved my subscribe :)
Great work as always!
So what did you settle on with DLSS and Texture settings? I assume you settled on off for DLSS but Textures you said didn't make much difference so just leave it on Ultra?
i was looking for this video a week ago
great job
AT LAST! WAS WAITING FOR YOU MY SAVIOUR!
Havent watched any of your previous vids, but wow! Take my sub sir! Good day!
I've waited for this!
jrab "still awake the deep" 3jbatni bezzaf on na7iyt graphics option li fiha
Thank you, your videos are always appreciated
thank you. it rly improved for me
Great breakdown as usual. I want to add that while all the recommendations are good, the game performance completely changes after you're done with the story (Normal Mode).

Thank you for this BenchmarKing! you're always my fav for optimization games.. =))
Wow the work put on this videos is amazing thank you for this hard work, I suscribed.
Very detailed comparison and FPS count ✌️
Has same good perfomance as on low settings, but now i can actually enjoy the graphics without losing fps, thanks
I just wanna mention, this game uses your fps to calculate your weapon fire rate, so your dps goes up the higher your frames are
going from 30 to 120 is around a 25% increase in overall dps with most high fire rate guns. but going from 90 to 120 is only like a 5% increase.
Great video, can you do doom?
"...if not leave a dislike..." No man, you deserve a like! ❤
Thank you for this insight!
I think from now on you should make two separate optimized settings, quality prioritized and performance prioritized. Shadows on medium looks awful compared to high, but high still runs better than ultra. Just a little idea :) Keep up the good work!
thank you, very helpful🙏
great breakdown. i will subscribe.
The best there is out there!
Nice video. Was using 4k, all high setting's and frame generation on. Looks like made good decision.
Is there any big loss in picture quality vs DLSS performance and DLSS quality?
deserve a sub. here ya go!
I would advice to test different DLSS quality levels with this game. The idea is, on my setup at 1440p both Balanced and Performance produce extremely good results, it might be comparable to Quality, so you could offset performance loss from turning RR on by lowering DLSS preset if you wish.

Thank you BK!! 👍
Thank you kind sir!
Bro, thank you so much.
My setup: R5 3600, RTX 4070, 16GB DDR4 3600Mhz and I'm having several FPS drops.
The game recommends me to play high, but even though I test it with everything at a minimum, it doesn't change.
My monitor is 29 ultrawide (2560x1080).
Obs: The game is installed on a nvme 5000MB/s.

TSR seems to improve performance on 7840u handhelds with great visuals.
Good video. Keep it up man
1440p with Ultra settings, DLSS Quality, FG On, RT Off = absolutely incredible gameplay and visuals on a 4080 Super. 200+ fps when running around with Bunny is recommended lol
❤ awesome video TY
Tyvm. Now i know how to setting for shiny cakes
thank you for this
had a go with the settings and it works like a charm :D
Just wow, awesome work @benchmarking4386 ! Liked and Subscribed!

Thank you!
you should test physics on enemy kills. Fire a grenade launcher into a mass of enemies in the testing room or something. I love the ragdoll physics.
if you plan on doing alot of group content. the "Effects" part of the video is a bit misleading considering this applies to ALL descendants in the area. including your group. so youre going to see a massive chug in performance
Interesting. For me, ray tracing set to high (with ray reconstruction off) takes my FPS from 81 to 59. (I have rtx 3080, and Vram goes from 6.8GB to 7.4GB. So still some left until the 10GB cap)
3la slama b9it kantssena fik 👍
I noticed that this game hits my CPU a lot harder than my GPU, unlike other shooter games I play. No idea what is going on.
great work as always! very thorough and helpful
did you try testing enemy ragdolls for the "physics" setting? I suspect that's mostly what it's for - and likely CPU related
Not gonna play the game but here's your thumb up for the effort buddy
I only wish they would give us an option to turn Anti-Aliasing off.
Strong work
Thank you for the detailed video, the game looks much darker if the global illumination sets to low and I have to set it to medium so I can see more clearly.
Aaaaand I wanted to ask something, when I turn on the frame gen & FSR my camera is kinda laggy like a smoothing effect on another game, is it because I'm using RTX card?
great explanation, thanks
Thank you so much for this
The epic game settings is really good. People underlook it thou 😂
Very interesting video. It'll be a good way to try to improve the game though after testing the frame generation to improve the smoothness, the game look garbled. Admited I had to use FSR and not DLSS (I can't use it) but on "performance" it look kinda disgusting and even made my game crash. I'm gonna need to see how much it's worth. Though I wish loading times weren't so bad...
Thank you my king!
Great one, keep it up
im glad to know even 3060ti's struggle with this game & that it's not just my 1060 :)
