Optimization Help

[Hiphoptimus Rhyme]

Edit: Global Illumination seemed to be the bulk of the issue. Thank you!

I've been playing this for a bit right now and I've been having some considerable performance issues, particularly around framerate during combat. The game seems to run smoothly any time I don't have to actually fight anything, but when in combat, I lose 5-20 frames of my capped 60.

My specs:
2080TI
i9-13900-k
1tb m.2 SSD
32gb RAM

Game settings:

2560x1440p
Framerate Cap Off
Super Resolution: DLSS 74
Ray Tracing Off
Detailed Graphics:
View Distance: High
Anti-Aliasing: Low
Post Effects: Medium
Shadows: Medium
Textures: High
Visual Effects: High
Hair Quality: Medium
Vegetation Quality: High
Global Illumination: Medium
Reflections: High

I'm forcing capped framerate of 60, Anti-Aliasing, and V-Sync through Nvidia Control Panel.

Thanks for any help!

I recommend this for getting optimized settings:

As for drops in combat, this could be caused by many things :/ In 13/14 gen i always recommend trying to disable E-cores since this helped me in several games. I believe there's also a mod that can make it possible to run FSR Frame Gen with DLSS - you might want to look into that.

No idea if it's a gen problem, I did try 1080p with the same results. DLSS not TSR

[redhongkong]

i use 10400, with 3060ti, im running fine with 1080p 60fps lock

u might have to seek help from other 13 14th gen owner and see how they test cpu

That is the purpose of this thread.

Try the optimized settings. Personally I'd bump global illumination down to low, since anything below cinematic causes tons of flickering shadows.

Whatever you're trying to link to is broken, can you send a screencap instead?

Up Texture quality to very high as you have 11GB vram

Set View Distance to medium

Don't think you can get a better config for that system than what you have.

Get the frame generation mod on Nexus so you can use DLSS and FG for a smoother experience. IF you use Frame Generation then you might have to drop texture back to High if you exceed the 11GB

If you really want a FPS jump then you need to lower the resolution scaling to 67.
