Graphics optimization question

[chancepaladin]

I'm dropping a moderate chunk of frames every few seconds. It's a lot better than the demo, but nowhere near as smooth as RE2make was running.

Unsure if related:
Game keeps running in the background after trying to exit.
Continuing from auto save doesn't work.
2nd time trying to play, flew through the entire world, ended up in the bathroom after first sequence, then game soft locked.

Tried using AMD optimization. Aside from it kicking me back to DX11, it seemed to help a little bit, besides the flying through the world thing.

Anyone else found the trick yet? I heard from some people Win10 DX12 is better, some people say it's worse?

Specs.

CPU: AMD FX 8350 8x core @ 4GHz.
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13
32gb ram
64bit OS. Win7 Pro.
GPU: AMD Radeon RX-590.(AMD software v20.2.2)
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500gb drive.
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 P2, 80+ Platinum 750W
Monitor: Samsung 28-Inch 4K UHD 1ms FreeSync LED-Lit Monitor

Sounds like your processor may be the culprit here. How did the game run in RE2?

Edit: You will also have this problem if you try to push too much for the vram to handle.

Ease up on the lighting. That's what kills the fps in this game and also in RE2R.

Wow I had the EXACT same mobo and CPU as you before my last upgrade. And I had a RX-580 instead of the 590. What a coincidence. ;)

That's your issue. Even a ryzen 1200 would perform better than this.

drop to lowest settings then fiddle with them till u get them as high as u can without the problem

HERE IS THE BEST TWEAKS TO GAIN PERFORMANCE AT LITTLE VISUAL COST

- Turn 'Volumetric Lighting Quality' to Medium. There is almost no visual difference - but you should gain a big bump in performance. This one is a big one because the option is broken in RE2 and RE3, and just hogs performance at almost not visual improvement beyond medium.

- Turn 'Shadows Quality' to Medium. It will also add a few more frames with almost no difference compared to the High setting (though there is a perceptible difference compared to the Ultra setting).

- Turn 'Ambient Occlusion' to SSAO. The difference here pretty minor vs the performance you gain.

Turn 'Texture Filtering' to ANISO X8. There is almost no difference in texture filtering quality beyond ANISO X8 - and lowering this setting down from ANISO X16 will gain you some much needed performance.

- Turn 'Graphics Quality' down to 90% (possibly 80%). That will free up a ALOT of frames with little in way of visual change.

I hope this helps. Enjoy the game!

the game is definetely smoother than RE2 , and I'm telling this from a low end PC

That's the weird thing. I could run RE2make practically to max with zero issues.

Hey we're build buddies! That's pretty cool!

That's what I'm thinking too. :-( Maybe here in a few weeks.

I've spent hours analyzing the best settings possible for the game.

Here are the best settings for 4K or 1440p. You want the best image quality with the fewest FPS drops and the most stable frame rate.

Image Quality: 100% (you can put it down to 80% or 70% instead of lowering the settings below if you need extra FPS)

Frame Rate: 144

V-Sync: On

Anti-aliasing: TAA [almost the same as FXAA+TAA but higher FPS]

Texture Quality: High (8 GB) [textures are very important]

Texture Filter Quality High (ANISO x16) [best image quality]

Mesh Quality: Max [putting this to max does not drop your FPS and gives a better image]

Shadow Quality : Low/Medium [It's useless to put it higher as it drops your FPS if you do so and doesn't bring much more to the table]

Shadow Cache: On [Always ON, increases your FPS significantly]

Contact Shadows: ON [doesn't drop your FPS that much]

Screen Space Reflections: OFF [Putting it ON will drop your FPS significantly, you will lose as high as 25 fps, and it doesn't do much contrary of what the in game image suggests]

Subsurface Scattering: OFF [Saves you around 5 FPS and it does almost nothing anyways]

Volumetric Lighting Quality: Low [putting it higher will drop your FPS without bringing much more, putting it at OFF will gives you more FPS but will completely remove some important lighting effects]

Particle Lightning Quality: High [won't drop your FPS]

Ambient Occlusion: OFF [will save you a lot of FPS]

Bloom: OFF [Saves you FPS and it's pretty useless]

Lens Flare: OFF [Saves you FPS]

Motion Blur: OFF [Saves you FPS]

Depth of Field: OFF [it looks better]

Lens Distortion: ON (+chromatic abberation)

Film Noise: ON [it depends on your taste, I believe the image looks better

Thanks! Will try all this and report back!
