Best graphics settings?

[HAL0B0MB]

For some reason I just cant get this game to look any better than ASE. The image looks so grainy no matter what settings I change. Ive turned off clouds and lowered/raised every setting. Im assuming its just the game at this point? Any tips?

Its just "Ive turned off clouds and lowered/raised every setting". Reset config if you have changed it manually previously.
2k, all on epic, without framegen. No grain, no pain.

set dlss to dlaa

they messed up the graphics with SE patch, wait for a fix
dlaa is not a solution because
1. lowers fps a lot
2. does not fix ghosting

My all in one startup command:

r.Streaming.PoolSize 0 | r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable 0 | r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge 4 | r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.RadianceCache.ProbeResolution 16 | r.VolumetricRenderTarget.Mode 3 | r.VolumetricCloud.ViewRaySampleMaxCount 256 | r.VolumetricCloud.StepSizeOnZeroConservativeDensity 2 | r.DepthOfFieldQuality 0 | r.Lumen.Reflections.Allow 0

Game looks like:

Cant say for now, but few months ago this mod ruins HDR.

The latest patch decreased the quality of the visuals, I'm hoping they revert it on the launch of SE but I'm not holding my breath. Feels like they've done it intentionally because they couldn't figure any optimisation for scorched on time for release

Most guides say turn HDR off, btw some of people use displays with lack of refresh rate, 60 hz is to low , you can bybass to 71 - 72 hz but thats also not enough to complete remove ghosting an flickering issues.

[DrunkenOrca]

120hz with HDR ON. No problems.
If possible i prefer to set fps limit to 119 btw :)
