Good performance with good quality?
Before everything, I have a GeForce RTX 4080 with 14.92 gigs of memory (for RE4) and a 12th Gen intel Core i9-12900k.

I have a pretty powerful and up-to-date computer. Even with everything set to maximum- ray tracing high, etc. etc. the game still runs around the 40s (FPS). Which is great! But I'd also prefer that I be usually hitting 60s (or high 50s is also acceptable).

What settings do you recommend to turn off or down? What should I set my Texture Quality VRAM to? What settings have you noticed affect FPS the most?

Ray tracing is poorly implemented and mostly just causes crashes.

Hair strands tends to actively look worse than the turned off and wastes a ton of gpu power. Just turn it off.

Texture quality when on high is mostly just using excess vram to cache textures to reduce streaming. What you set it to depends on your other settings. Try to stay below orange on the vram meter.

What resolution are you playing on? Just lower the resolution.

lol This is just a lie. Hair strands looks superb and a generation beyond the hair cards.

There is also nothing wrong with Raytracing. 170 hours played and never a single crash ever happened.

The visual gain of raytracing is neglect able though, and limited to reflections in body of water and if that is causing problems for you.. sure. Doesn't cause crash though.

Good to know you're blind.

Hilarious. You're the only to ever said hair strands don't look the best. Maybe get yourself a better computer that can render it properly.

They render fine.

The issue is they don't react to lighting and environmental changes like the standard hair.

Again: You're blind.

I run at 1080p. I'm not going to lower my resolution.

If neither of you (aside from these two comments) have nothing to say of value in regards to the topic, keep it to yourself. I don't want to open up my notifications to garbage which doesn't help me.

Or you could... read the initial post i made because I mentioned things that will improve your performance.

I did. That's why I explicitly said "aside from these two comments".

Fair.

Either way, not overloading your vram is generally the biggest performance maker in RE Engine since the move from DX11 to DX12.

Strange i can play the game on maxed out settings in 1440p with 166 AVG fps, having a Ryzen 7800x3d / Rx 7900xtx / 64Gb ram. Dunno what is wrong with your system but 40 fps sounds not right for me and i dont use FSR.

It's strange to me too. I got a 4k monitor recently with a higher refresh rate and I got into the 100s consistently with pretty high settings. Granted I didn't max anything out and had ray-tracing off, but still. I wonder if it was just the refresh rate.

HDR on? There's regular complaints about HDR tanking performance.
