Improve Your FPS with These Commands - (Almost) No Graphical Loss!

[daniele.pola]

Hey everyone,

If you're struggling with performance issues and getting much lower FPS than you'd like, I've found a couple of command lines that can significantly boost your FPS without compromising on graphics quality:

r.VolumetricCloud 0
r.ShadowQuality 0

For context, I'm running a system with an undervolted 3070 Ti and an i7 12th gen. Here are my results:

Resolution at 2560 x 1600: Approximately 80 - 110 FPS
Resolution at 3840 x 2160 (4K): Approximately 40 - 70 FPS
Additionally, here are some other settings I've tweaked:

Advanced Graphics: Epic
View Distance: Medium
Textures: Epic
Post Processing: Epic
General Shadows: Not applicable (shadows are disabled through command)
Global Illumination Quality: Low
Effects Quality: High
Foliage Quality: High
Motion Blur: Off
Light Bloom: Off
Light Shaft: Off
Enable Foliage and Fluid Interaction: Off
Foliage Interaction Distance/Quantity: Set to lowest
Footstep Particle and Decals: On
As for NVIDIA settings:

Nvidia DLSS: ON
Super Resolution: Auto
Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: ON
Hope this helps some of you out there looking for a performance boost!

use ~ console key
copy paste works even with multi liners. no need to manuly input

[daniele.pola]

Go to Settings.
Navigate to Advanced.
Toggle Console Access to ON.
Return to your game.
Press ESC. You should now see a console button in the bottom left corner.
Click on that console button and enter the following commands:

I guess in console - the ` key (next to the 1 in the keyboard)

No clouds, no shadows, but no graphical difference? I think you need to look up the word difference in the dictionary.

This will help people get better performance, but there is a difference.

I said 'almost,' so don't be so negative. I prefer to play without shadows in 4K on mostly epic settings than in 1080p on low with shadows. Just my opinion, but everyone has their own preferences.

Turning off shadows is a huge quality difference, man.

[JustJulz]

Without shadows and Clouds it doesn't look nearly as good as with those settings activated. Sure it does save tons of FPS but at a high cost in visual quality (not a small difference at all).

[Stevie Wonder]

completly removes cloud and shadows, but yet claims "Almost no difference"... lol

[Lunar Fox]

Guys turn the setting to shadows like 4 setting. Lowest quality that isn't blocky.

Sadly, I don't see a way to have different volumetric cloud quality. Is it just 0 and 1? On and off? It looks amazing with it on. Is there a half way point?

[Kasperbjerby]

I can maybe understand you can live without clouds and not feel like you are missing out much, but shadows? I think you need to see a eye doctor or something

This is going to sound odd, but for some reason when I increased my FOV, I got a decent FPS boost. Nothing too major, but noticeable. You go in your camera settings to change it. Default is like 50, I set mine to 80. Might not work for you, but it did for me. Cheers.

Removing clouds help out a lot man, thanks.

[NateM604]

Worked great for me, will run like this until they put out a few more fixes. Thanks for the tips

Actually there is a massive difference. This two pictures captured exactly the same moment, while raining. One with volumetric clouds, one without.

However, it does add at least 20-30 fps extra. It's benefitial for any PvP players.
