Optimized settings - Exchange & Recommendations

[℧r 💀 Mr.]

Since I haven't found anything helpful on the Internet to optimize the game so far, I would like to start this thread by asking you about your preferred graphics settings.

Which settings do you set higher and which do you set lower to get more performance without losing much image quality? It would also be good to know which system you are playing on, i.e. CPU, GPU, RAM, HARD DISK, so that you can better specify your decision.

It would also be very interesting to know whether you have already made other settings in Windows, directly in the graphics driver or whether you have already tried other start options that work.

I myself use the following components and the game runs poorly for me. As it has only just entered Early Access, this was to be expected. However, my current status is that the game runs better on Intel CPUs.

7800x3D
4080 S
32GB DDR5 30-36-36-96
WD SN850X

What is your situation, what difficulties do you have to deal with and what were your successful solutions?

maybe look at this thread i made, hope it helps: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2828860/discussions/0/4839770694273280514/

turning off AMD SMT in BIOS or use Process Lasso improves performance & latencys & frame timing, games don't need it, especially with your monster CPU.

running Windows in Ultimate Performance power plan, or again use Process Lasso it has a Maximum power plan, also i use it to automatically set the power plan to Power Saver when i'm not gaming.

turning down textures & reflections improved performance, meanwhile i increased shaders and a few others.

if your motherboard BIOS has a performance enhancement option use it, also disable performance bias if it has that

What you describe in your thread is that you get more performance out of the game by reducing the resolution. And then upscaling with upscaling technology as the name suggests. I understand the approach behind it and why it's done in a pinch, but I'm not a fan of it. Apart from that, why should I buy a program for this when the function is available in the Nvidia driver itself and is therefore free? It's called NVIDIA Image Scaling (NIS).

I find the approach of disabling SMT very interesting and I can even imagine, since the game is rather GPU-heavy, that this could be helpful. I not only play video games, but also open-world games, which in turn benefit from SMT. So changing that every time just to play the game is too cumbersome for me as an end user.
I can't really say anything about Process Lasso after looking at it a bit, it changes the way CPU utilization is managed more efficiently. It allows the user to assign CPU cores to specific applications or optimize CPU priorities. Now, I have to be honest and say that I have no experience with this and don't know how I should change anything. I'll take a closer look, but that shouldn't be a permanent solution either. What would be simpler optimizations that any end user would understand right away?

Intel 11900h and RTX3060 6GB here, with 60fps cap I get a pretty smooth experience with most settings on high and some others on low-medium by using about 60% dynamic resolution. It ain't the prettiest but it works.

i'm sorry you didn't understand

a simple edit is change Windows power plan to High Performance & nV Power Management to Prefer Maximum

Theres little no need to do any of this
Know why
BEC is a early access an no matter the changes u make
IT AINT GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE, an u want know the true way to get more performance
Set everything to low an resolution scale to the middle
Boom
Constant 60 fps .

I think it's a shame that you revised the previous post, because I was just about to reply to it. What I described was not wrong, I just looked up what the program can do and I misunderstood something. So you are using it to create an arbitrary resolution. What interests me is whether you use integer scaling in the program or whether that is not necessary.

“You can use Process Lasso to disable SMT in particular applications.”

This is not quite correct, Process Lasso itself does not offer a direct option to disable SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) only for specific applications. However, a similar functionality can be achieved via the CPU affinity settings. It is clear that you will notice a difference if you change the settings in the bios. But again, I didn't mean WoW, but games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2. Where it makes sense to notice it would be older games like GTA V or The Witcher 3 that don't benefit much from SMT or CS, Valorant and Fortnite.

I have not yet found it necessary to set the nV Control Panel setting to Prefer Maximum for a 4080 S, but I will change this and see if it makes a significant difference.

The Ultimate Performance Power Plan was developed for performance-intensive workloads, whether I change my setting from High Performance to Ultimate shouldn't make any difference here either, at least on my system. But the mention of this is not wrong at all, I have already understood that gaming computers should be set to Power Plan High Performance.

As I said, I understand, I just have to research the necessary information first.

In this thread it would be important to me if any information is described in detail so that every user who joins here understands clearly enough what he is doing with the changes. As in the title above, it serves as an exchange thread.

That it makes no difference is not quite true, you are contradicting how a GPU calculates. But I think you meant that it makes no difference to you personally. Nor that you probably didn't even test it before writing your frustration here. But yes by switching to low and setting the resolution scaling to the middle actually increases the generated frames. But you don't even mention your system so you have a comparison to the current state of the game.

[JigglyRitz]

sidenote, if you have the Lossless Scaling app it does work with this game. You just have to set the game to windowed mode to be able to change the resolution, then set it back to borderless. I was able to boost my fps from around 35 on high at 1440p to around 90

Medium settings. Lock it to 60fps.

maybe for u but works great for me, went from hovering around 50-44 to 60-50fps, seems better to me. tested for an hr yesterday when i played. go talk some more fud out yur a$$ else where plz an thank u.
i9-11900k overclocked rtx 4070 32 gigs of ddr 4. which doesnt matter bec this game plays the same even if i was on a 4090 14900k. so specs dont matter rn. other than that i dig this game very much. NEXT.

Sorry to necro this thread. Do you mind sharing a breakdown of your settings? R7-5700G + 3060 12gb and i am struggling to get a smooth 60 on even low with the 40% DR it sets.
