The frame pacing issue I mentioned at 8:52 isn’t caused by the game becoming more CPU-limited. The real culprit is the driver. Watch this video for more details and how to fix it : ua-cam.com/video/ZuGc2qvw0p8/v-deo.html
Love you bro. Indeed it was the driver all along, rolling back to previous driver fixed all the issues i had, even with you're optimized settings the framepacing was all over the place. Now it's stable and very enjoyable, thanks man.
And there it is again, Nvidia drivers causing issues that then get blamed on devs and engines. Many times under DF videos I suggested testing with both brands of hardware in order to single out these type of issues. Of course Alex will never do that. Now I ask this to you: I know it takes time and resources, but whenever you come across specific issues it would be cool if you verified your findings also on an AMD GPU, even just off-screen, no need to put it in the video. I know this is quite a big ask, especially for a smaller channel like yours, but if you find a way, it would be greatly appreciated by a boatload of people and it would be the proper way of doing things. In any case, keep up the great work.
The main problem is that developers give so little info of what these settings doing, really the player have to figure it out? There is few games out there that explain it good, like Last of Us part 1 or Resident Evil 4 Remake, with comparison images, and statistics for vram and processing power usage.
literally every games nowadays is the same just turn down textures for 8gb vram, volumetric, GI and hair shadow and water used to be a pain to fps but i think its more efficient now in modern games
It really is crazy how well made these videos are, seeing every setting compared and benchmarked is surely what anyone ever wants from these types of videos but I swear its not that easy to find. Maybe it's cause it's an insane amount of work for a short segment, so a genuine thanks for the work you put it to make these super helpful and professionally made videos! Hope you make at least something decent off these videos.
I hope you never stop uploading these optimized settings for us. I don't know if you are aware how important are these videos for PC gaming nowadays, Thanks!!!

I have a 4060 and have been looking forward to playing this game. The side by side comparisons really help with setting choices, amazing video as always!
Your channel has become a mandatory visit whenever I acquire a new game. Keep up the magnificent work, your attention to detail and recommendations are superb.
Always sweet to find a benchmarking and optimization channel that goes in detail and compare the change in settings visually to the viewers. Thanks for your work!
WOW great video!!!!!!!!! Been looking for a channel that actually explains settings and shows them side by side in a video!! Thanks for all your hard work in producing such a great video showing all setting and what they look like & the cost to performance one each one. A lot of work for such a short video!!! Thanks again for your time to make this video hope to see more videos from your in the future!!!!!!!!!
Very helpful! I was finding on my RTX 4070 that it was hovering right at the 12GB VRAM mark with path tracing enabled - the game ran great until anything happened and then bam, game came to a halt. Everyone online was saying it was a driver issue but your settings helped me make the game more playable. Great video!
Wow, what a video! Thanks for your dedication. I wish I had watched this before I started the game, not when I was at 60% progress.😅 And the same goes for knowing you, I wish I had known you for years, not just now. It would have made my gaming experience much better. But whatever, I know you now, so I’ll have the best experience for the rest of your channel’s life.
As usual, you are doing a great job. Whenever I intend to play a game, I first check to see if you've already added optimization to it, even if I have a card with 20GB of VRAM.
This is a next level graphics settings guide!! Wow thank you for doing this and showing the mid/low end settings for 8GB gpus and also the higher end settings. Love the optimization tips, thank you so much!
You are the only benchmark youtuber i would trust blind, thanks for your amazing work! i would love to see a warframe optimisation guide of you if you ever find the time 🙏
Thank you very much. Playing this on a 4060 and had it running at 60fps but your info helps a lot to still running at 60 but making it look just a little bit better. Loving the game!
Thank you for your work. I always watch your videos before playing new games. You helped me with RDR2, TLoU, Black Ops 6, Stalker 2, and now this! Honestly, I think that Nvidia should at least gift you an RTX 5090 - not only as a thing to enjoy but also to work with for the next videos.
Thanks for the upload, king. I tried DF "optimized" settings, using supreme texture pool on 12gb VRAM card and it started to drop fps in Vatican, i bet they didn't played even 1-2 hours of the game.
@@HenryTownsmyth On top of that they're slow, i use to wait to see their PC performance videos. Now there's just no point because it'll be a week late and useful bloat info(and RARELY if ever showcasing AMD GPU)
2:35 the RTX 5060/5060 TI according to the latest rumours will have 8GB vram also. Thats literally Pure Evil to still lauch middle level gpus with only 8GB vram .
5060 is not middle-level, it is bottom of the barrel. 60 class is low tier, 70 class is mid-tier, 80 class is high-tier, and 90 class is flagship. And before you ask, the now rare 50 class is ultra-low tier.
4060 is low tier of th3 series...but it is still mid tier if you put into perspective all the gpu's available. Certainly more powerful than many other options.
@@xblur17xx60 usually were not low tier, there's xx50, xx40 and even xx30 that's classifies as bottom of the barrel, in fact on release 60 class gpus usually crushed already released title with high-ultra settings, only for 40 series they changed xx60 as bottom of the barrel cause they're basically upselling 4050 as 4060.
Actually, turning on rt sun shadow alone disables default GI in some indoor areas without any replacement. This is a very noticeable visual downgrade in the tomb section in the intro. So the best path tracing settings is either enabling them all or disabling then all.
@@RogerExplodey Yes, because rt indirect illumination is the supposed replacement for the default GI. But as the video suggested, turning on rt indirect illumination without rt reflection making the scene lacking default ssr. So there really is no combination of pt settings, other than just enabling all of them, that has no visual downgrade.
dude huge respect for you man the only channel which does not promote the top of the line or amd gpu bullshit not everyone can afford to spend ₹2lakhs on a rtx 4090 so rather than just saying htat say rtx 30/40-60 is a bad card other tech channels should be like this~~ enabling and helping those with tight/low budget with knowledge on how to optimize the settings to get the maximum performance. (where i live the cheapest rtx 4090 = ₹2,10,000 rtx 4080= ₹1,10,000 rtx 4070= ₹51,000 rtx 4060= ₹26,990{same as rtx 3060 12gb} se the delta in price difference)
Hey man, just wanna say thanks for helping us all out! Also got a request for a marvel rivals video. Its a competitive game where you can lose some dps if your game isnt running fully optimized and i feel like it would help many people.
When running the game with full ray tracing, I found that lowering the Vegetation Animation quality restored my frame rate to a stable 60 fps, whereas setting it to high dropped the frame rate into the 40s.
Thankyou for your video . playing on a 7800x3d and 4090FE and getting around 120fps @ 1440p right now , looking forward to when the game is fully optimised. Seems pc games released these days are never ready 'out of the box' and require lots of fiddling to make them as playable as they should be
If you could do an optimization video for Delta Force that would be absolutley amazing, ive tried doing some digging through other co tent creators for that game and a lot of them have varying recommendations, I generally come to your channel for optimization because your settings have been consistently helpful for me, crossing my fingers you see this
VRAM hungry means some people wouldn't even can launch the game at all, unoptimized somehow you can run it but with stutters and actually could finish the game like that. 🤷🏻♀️🥴
@@Jakiyyyyylike black myth wukong!, that game is really demanding but I've friends who completed the game on their GTX 1650...... I totally agree with you
@@Jakiyyyyy Rather not play at all than with stutter. This game is optimized pretty great and with 8gb you can still play it well with some lowered settings. Everything under 8gb is just not enough for new games.
