Optimal video settings for GTX 750 Ti? (framerate issues)

[Hoppled]

Last time I had this issue, there was someone else on the forum who had the same card and recommended his settings. It worked out well for me- got ride of the framerate stutters and the game still looked nice

But now after a long break of playing this game, the framerate stutters are back. I am not sure why they would come back after I initially fixed the issue. I'm assuming this could be due to the numerous updates that have occured while I was gone.

Here are my settings: http://imgur.com/a/gWDWp

If you have the same card as me and want to tell me what to tweak for best performance/best quality ratio let me know. (basically what I mean by that, is how can I get back to a fluid 60 FPS without making the game look ♥♥♥♥♥♥) - Specs below:

GPU: GTX 750 Ti
CPU: i5 3470k 3.20 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
OS: Windows 10

This is a good guide for finding out what settings eat most of your GPU: http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/page/blog/_/features/port-reports/pc-report-killing-floor-2-r182

Biggest ones are ambient occulsion, reflections and nvidia things.

And no point running textures in ultra when you cant really see any pixelation on high and shadows high->ultra in games is almostalways no difference other than slightly smoother edges for stupid cost.

Make sure flex and giblets is off(mines greyed out) and set "bUseTextureStreaming" in \Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFEngine.ini[you can find it by pressing ctrl+f in the ini notepad and pasting that line of code] is set to false.

I disabled shadows completely in my Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KFSystemSettings.ini file - "DynamicShadows=False"

ambient occlusion, realtime reflections and shadow quality are the real frame rate killers as well as glibs/flex system for nvidia. Some people have a dip with the FX as well, i've set mine to medium for the time being because on low it makes the flames from firebug look like from games made in 1995.

Make sure variable frame rate is off, if your frame rate does dip that makes your game have annoying movement lag as the frame rate fluctuates.

My specs are:
i7 920 @ 3GHz
8GB DDR3
SSD EVO 950
Windows 7
GTX 750(not ti)

You don't have to disable all that i have with lightning, i took them off cause i didn't really mind the look, just play with some settings to where you think it looks ok versus performance. Hope this helps, i know how annoying the stuttering can be.

Ultra settings but realtime reflections off and shadows medium.

so ambient occlusion should be off?

Ambient is a frame eater too. I would lower it to SSAO. Sure jagged lines can be in the way but it is worth it. You can set some settings that are low to high along with environment to balance it out.

SSAO looks almost the same as off so I would just have it off if you need frames.

For starters:

That GPu performs similarlfy to the GTX 860M / 960M (Maxwell, GM107).

Stick to Medium on all settings, and for Nvidia Flex, turn them off.

I notice a bit difference on SSAO on shadow and Foster's mask more fixed looking. Less Jagged* I don't know. Off is good if you like extra frames.

Not sure why you suggest medium for all settings or do you mean only for some settings? My card is more than capable of running fluid FPS on high/ultra- (with tweaking certain things)

I actually figured out the culprit. Turns out, the game's settings did not save from the last time I played. I turned off ambient occlusion and turned down shadows to medium from Ultra. Problem is now fixed with a fluid 62 FPS.

Here are the settings for reference: http://imgur.com/a/7KzzR

If you have a similar card to mine, you should check out that image. It's honestly best performance/visual ratio I can get. I actually found an old thread I made with someone who had the same card recommend those settings.

Of course, you can turn off bloom/lens shafts, etc. but that has little to no impact on my FPS. For some reason ambient occlusion and shadows have a HUGE impact even if it's up 1 notch.

Hmmm, awesome, will do.

I have a GTX 860M laptop in stock, should be able to test this configuration out.
