Is ray tracing on by default?

[roboticred]

I don't own the game yet but I have seen the complaint that the game runs poorly and saw a single review say that said they went into a config file and found ray tracing was on and was able to gain 20-30 fps back by turning it off.

no such setting

In the game's settings menu sure but every unreal engine game still holds every possible game settings within it's config files including ray tracing.

Yes, raytracing/lumen is on by default, you can turn them off via an .ini edit, until the devs implement a setting for it.

Use this, makes a HUGE difference

I've seen no FPS improvement from 'disabling' raytracing via the config method, nor any change visually as well. Some of the others give a slight boost in frames though, but as per usual, the only massive improvement is lowering the dynamic resolution.

If you're using dynamic resolution, you're not gonna see an FPS improvement, just a generally sharper/clearer image at the same FPS.

Not true. Lowering it to 50% Gives me 60 FPS- while keeping it 90-100% gives me 40 FPS but better image quality.

Yeah..that's what dynamic resolution does lol.

You're not understanding, what I mean is if you use BOTH the .ini edits and dynamic resolution, you're not gonna see much better FPS; because it's just gonna use the extra overhead to not be so aggressive with reducing the resolution dynamically.

Yeah.. No duh? Lol.

Literally not what you said in my quoted post though, but you do you.

Is your card capable of raytracing? Disabling it wouldn't change anything if your system can't do RT to begin with.

Also Dynamic Res is adjusting the res on the fly to maintain a target FPS. So changing settings with dynamic res on isn't likely to see a FPS change, just a change in what resolution the game runs at.

this does not work on my 3090

the best fps boost i have found so far is Lossless Scaling Frame Gen. It adds a little input lag but i got used to it and the game runs in 90 -100 fps on 4k

It is. Seems a lot of people aren't having any success with these .ini changes either. Doesn't really matter to me, though. I'm fine with hovering around 50 fps till optimizations come.

You said the .ini edits didn't help and that you were using dynamic resolution, so I told you that you wouldn't see much FPS gain with both those things together...not sure what's complicated about this lol?

Did you set the .ini to read only after? That's critical.
