    DLSS Quality for me took my fps from 30 to 40 at a mix of high/ultra settings to a smooth 60 fps in all places. I'm not sure why performance wouldn't boost for you, but it certainly does for me (and I've done a ton of testing between having DLSS off and on, recording varying performance in different places/times of day).
    At any rate, thank you for the optimization guide! This game is amazing, but it really does need some performance patches.

    Are you sure you properly tested DLSS? Because it makes no sense that you have no difference/lower performance with DLSS quality VS native 1440p. I mean if you don't get difference between 1440p and 890p resolution then something is really wrong. I gain a lot of FPS just switching DLSS quality on compared to using native at 4k let alone lower DLSS options like performance or ultra performance. Uplift in FPS is huge but the image ofc takes a hit as well due to lower renders.

    The game was essentially unplayable due to lag spikes no matter what settings I was using. Even the lowest (other than resolution).
    I installed the Ascendio mod.
    BAM. Ironically as if by magic suddenly I'm able to play on High settings with a reasonable frame rate.

    interesting that dlss was giving you issues. from no dlss to dlss quality enabled, it easily gave me an extra 30fps on average running the game on similar high end specs (5800x3D + RTX 4080). perhaps its a problem for some folks.

    Quick question: how in the world do you avoid tearing if you don’t vsync or cap fps and you are not using any vrr display?? Also, are people aware that if the game engine is outputting 60 fps and you are running it on a 120 container there is a double-image effect?

    Somebody give that company a good team of developers for Optimization. One of the worst Optimized game in history of all games after the Infamous Crysis 3.
    The most annoying thing is,the game doesn't stutter for me,it's just the VRAM which is maxing out even at lowest setting and the shaders are not loading properly,leading to 4-5 seconds stutter the moment i go to other rooms or maps,otherwise game running at 50+fps. Worst memory management i have ever seen. I have never encountered, "Great video rendering with poor Vram usage" until i saw this game.
    This game is the example of what happens if you have a team of designers and No dedicated team for Testing & verification and bug fixing

    HELP! I'm curious if you are having any major issues with stuttering in high populated areas like the scene you had with all the children eating in the dinning hall or Hogsmead. I get a wicked solid frametime line when I limit my FPS to 60 literally everywhere else. I use G-Snyc which is why I limit my FPS to 60 even though I technically get more than that and I also have a 120 hz monitor. I've noticed that no matter my settings, my 1% lows drop to 45 fps in Hogsmead just running around and it's not until I leave Hogsmead that it normalizes. Same thing in Hogwarts. My wife on the other hand gets the same smooth frametimes in certain Hogwarts areas that normally give me trouble and my system out classes hers significantly. At first I thought it was maybe my CPU since the highly populated areas, but reducing that option doesn't help and even on Ultra, my CPU doesn't go above 45% usage. I've got a Intel i7-10700KF, RTX 3080 10GB, and 32 GBs RAM. The only thing I see is the VRAM usage gets to 90%, but then it starts utilizing my RAM and your 2060 has less VRAM. I play on a 4k monitor so DLSS works well to help reduce the in game resolution and help me upscale.

    • @TechGuides
      @TechGuides  Рік тому +1

      I dont experience a lot of noticable stuttering if Im honest. But I think it might be very well a VRAM issue on your end. Did you ever tried running the game at 1440p instead of 4K?

(At least in my opinion). Turning of RT relections just didnt look nice to me at all. its a hefty hit to fps but i personally think it looks so good.

    DLSS doesn't even give me a performance boost. I get 140fps with a fps cap no problem ( 1440p, rtx 4080), without frame gen too. DLAA is best anti aliasing. Granted my system is really high end but its odd DLSS does like...nothing. What does work is adding tweaks in the engine.ini and setting shader cache to 10gb. All stutter in Hogsmeade nearly gone, stutters when I first arrive and then none.

    wow very bad recommendations. Some of your Ultra settings that doesn't impact performance, are cpu bound... That means that this happens cause your CPU is just very strong, so for us the viewers it might have huge performance loss. For low end hardware you suggest DLAA, but this is available only for Nvidia gpus if i remember correctly. You just compare the performance presets not the actual image quality of the settings. Many of the settings you suggest can take much RAM to work, if you have enough (like 32gb) then you have no performance loss with your ultra settings, what will happen if someone has 16gb ?
    It's better to compare graphic's quality, than simple FPS of 2 different GPUs. Cause cpu, ram, Vram can impact performance too if you have a lower end system. It could be better to remake this video with more accurate suggestions than randomly suggestions without a good methodology.

      I used a i7-7700k on my low-end system to make sure I'm most definitely CPU bound and was also only using 16GB of RAM on that rig. I also showed visual comparisons of pretty much every setting that has a visual impact. There is absolutely nothing random about the suggestions in this video, much different to most other "guides".

    I dont get it why whould you want that much fps on a non competitive game, this us the kind of game where you aim for visual quality while having stable performance, not where you want the biggest performance at the cost of quality.

      I totally agree with you. However if your performance is mediocre to begin with you might want to know which settings you can still safely increase without moving into completely unplayable terrain. And a lot of people had issues running this game. On my system I could easily run most of the settings on Ultra and just enjoy the experience but not everybody has a 4080 ;)
