PSA - Post Processing crushes performance - FIX

[ScottyDontNZ]

Turn to medium or low, anything above and it will tank your performance even on high end PC's. I go from 60 FPS to 100+ at 4k with my RTX 3080 by lowering just this one setting.

Same here, can confirm! And also with a 3080

Thanks for the tip! I thought my GTX 970 was finally too outdated for running FullHD on "very high" but turns out it's this PSA setting.

What changes graphically? Is it perceptible?

I have not been able to tell the difference yet. Although I went into the ini files and disabled some effects to my liking.

your 970 is outdated, less than 4gb vram and the processing power of a console aren't really great.

They're still having a good time though and so am i on my outdated 2080ti with now post processing on medium.

As long as I'm getting 60 FPS with Ultra or Very High settings on FullHD I'm 100% happy. I don't care about 4K or 120hz since my monitor can't handle them anyway. When Unreal Engine 5 becomes the norm I'll probably upgrade.

The most you can get with that GPU in modern games is an unstable 60FPS/low and probably even less in some including this one considering it has terrible optimization even if the graphics resemble a 2010 game.

I'm getting solid 60FPS on very high with 1920 x 1080. Just had to lower the PSA setting.

Yes this piece of ♥♥♥♥ is dropping even at 50fps on my rx6700xt at 1440p

To add to this, turn off the chromatic aberration. It's not a setting, but if you search "High on Life Blurry", there's some stuff you copy and paste into the engine.ini file. I went from 30fps to 40fps with a mix of low and medium settings on the Steam Deck and the game looks much better.

Turning down post processing to medium is a good idea to get a good fps boost, I wouldn't go low cause that turns off ambient occlusion I think.

You could probably grab a lower end gpu and get a big upgrade for cheap or something used of the market for even cheaper that is also faster.

Think if seen it go down to like 60 70 fps on my 6900 XT so far in little time if played i will check lowering post procesing to medium if it makes no visual difference then why not. i game on 3840x1600
