4k 4090 settings advice

Please share your settings tips for maximum graphics fidelity. I don't mind being around 60 odd fps as long as it's smooth.

Dont use the cinematic setting.

"Added “Cinematic” Scalability level to the scalability system. This level is intended for
offline rendering of cinematics only."

With this setting, you can render higher quality shadows that are needed for offline rendering. This is not intended for any use during gameplay or at runtime.

I know that many top card owners use this setting, but the difference to very high/epic is not noticeable (except in the frame rate).

Anyone who wants to inflate their ego can use this setting, the differences are not visually noticeable in the gameplay.

If you seriously want to spice up the graphics in the very high/epic setting, you can add some useful points to your engine.ini!

[SystemSettings]
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.DetailMode=1
r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=1 (ONLY WITHOUT RAYTRACING)
r.BloomQuality=0
foliage.LODDistanceScale=2
r.ViewDistanceScale=2
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=2

Thanks man, this is a great answer. Will give these settings a try.

I don't want to be discouraging, As of September 6th, it doesn't matter what settings you set on your 4090, your game is going to crash randomly.

I have a 7800x3d and a 4090, and it's crashing like there is no tomorrow. The game seriously has issue.

I am using a 7800x3d and 4090 here. I was getting crashes and while checking the hardware i noticed that the 4090 ridiculous crappy power connector was extremely hot. I under-volted the card with MSI afterburner and went from 430 watt to 300 watt an it has not crashed again after many hours of continuous game play.

My settings are completely maxed out at 3440x1440 resolution. average 110fps

2160p @ 100% scale with DLSS+FG on. Everything on Very High (Cinematic wont visually see a difference). Your retinas will bleed

7800x3d 4090 stock settings. Game crashed once in 35 hours and it was due to my mistake.
I use cinematic everything and ray tracing on medium with DLSS on 60 and frame gen. Gets around 85-100fps. As others mentioned above cinematic vs very high is barely noticeable minus minute details which you won't notice unless someone points it out to you side by side. I found the step to max ray tracing was not worth the ~20ish fps loss.

Zero crashes in 50 hours.

Crashing is usually a result of the users setup or an error with it, something incorrectly configured, a driver issue, an overclocking or undervolting issue.

Next time you get a BSOD make note of the error code and post it here, or google it. If it restarts automatically, you can set it to not restart so you have time to make note of the error.

My game hasn't crashed a single time playing this game. And honestly any game really. I'm not denying issues but you speak like it's a guarantee. It's not. I run two systems both desktop and laptop with a 4090 in desktop form and laptop form. One is amd and other Intel. No crashes.

OP, the settings will also depend on your CPU but way less at 4k. I run a mid tier CPU at this point with my rtx 4090 strix. It's an amd 5900x. Here are my settings:
1. Cinematic everything
2. 2160x3840 resolution
3. RT full at very high
4. Frame gen on
5. Dlss quality (I think) at 75%

I mostly play on my laptop which is weaker but at 2k so I'm hazy on fps but want to say it's around 80fps. Truly a beautiful experience on my LG oled.

Yea, 'Cinematic' settings for 'some' of the options I mentioned are not brutal to high-end hardware at all... Have you actually tried to measure fps yourself for Wukong?

Plenty of internet Outlets have already covered Wukong's settings, (e.g. Hardware Unboxed, Digital Foundry,) 'Cinematic' option for *some* of these settings have virtually no fps loss, or extremely little; major exception to Shadow Quality and Global illumination.

Curious about your other settings, any performance impact for foliage LOD distance/ shadow distance/ view distance?
