Best Setting, best graphic!!

Tested with
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB
8GB Ram
Windows 10 64bit (Build 18362)

Conclusion !

• Shut of InGame the "DoF" Blur, it is ugly!
  
  
• Use InGame VSync to stop Tearing!
  ---> You can use driver-sided ADAPTIVE VSync!!
  
  
• Change in ext. Graphic Setting:
  
  • Objectdetails to the maximum 100!
    
  • Tree Distance: 750 m
    
  • number off High Render Trees: 500
    ----> to get less loading Stutter or visual irritation!
  
  
• Use a Start Command Line Parameter to get a really "full" fullscreen!
  
  
• Use a driver sided FXAA (InGame Off)
  Driver sided you get better smooth edges and less load!
  All other Forms of AA did not work!!
  
  
• Use a driver sided frameratelimit e.g. 61-75 to lower CPU use/load!
  NEW: With new NVIDIA Driver:
  ------> You can Limit without Profilinspector !!
  
  
• Use a driver sided DownSampling 2560x1440 on a 1920x1080 Monitor!
  You get more "AA"!
  
  
• NEW: With new NVIDIA Driver:
  You can use "Ultra Low Latency Mode"
  
  

Start-Command-Line-Parameter

• Recommended for All:

-force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -window-mode exclusive

• Recommended for all with 1920x1080:

-force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -window-mode exclusive -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080

• Recommended for all with 1920x1080 with borderless Window (more stable!):

-force-d3d11 -no-singlethreaded -window-mode borderless -popupwindow -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080  

• Recommended for DSR 2560x1440:
  
  

  -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -window-mode exclusive -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440
  

    But with 2560x1440, I always get a crash after ending, but I like it more than starting with   1920x1080 and manually change to 2560x1440!
    You can exit with Alt-Tab and then close the window with "X"!
  
  

Nvidia Profile Inspector

NEW: With new NVIDIA Driver:
------------> You can Limit without Profilinspector !!


This is just a sample image from NVIDIA Profile Inspector. The values that should be used can be found in the information text below!

• Use a driver sided FXAA (InGame Off)
  Driver sided you get better smooth edges and less load!
  All other Forms of AA did not work!!
  
  
• Use a driver sided frameratelimit e.g. 61-75 to lower CPU use/load!
  Use Frame Limit from NVIDIA Profilinspector/Driver or AMD Driver!
  
  
  e.g. NVIDIA Profilinspector:
  • Limit: 65FPS for 60Hz or 125 for 120Hz Monitor´s
    
  • Mode: Limiter V2 - Force Off [Enables Limiter V1 (Less Input Lag)]
  
  
  NEW: With new NVIDIA Driver:
  • You can Limit without Profilinspector
    
  • You can use "Ultra Low Latency Mode"
  
  
  
  

Play COOP/ VS Real Person

I want to play one behind the other and then the one who is more remote hase to play!

- In Menu "Break": round order on!

- In Menu "Social": Standard (round) order on!

- In Menu "Social": (round) order animation full!

---------> Now You can play in Order and you can see the other player as a Person!!!

General Thoughts

AA is only FXAA and it is not very good!

Micro stutter can be disturbing!

In Game shut off VSync.

What API? Vulkan or DX12!

To get less CPU Utilization the change from DX11 to Vulkan must help, but I think Vulkan will work only from Version 5.6 and here we have 5.3.7p3.

To stop overheating CPU, stop rendering at 90 Frames over Driver.

What are the setting for best graphic?

Shut of the "DoF" Blur, it is ugly!

You have enough Power to take the highest Setting!! I think most of the expanded Graphic setting is irrelevant and only the first point, Objectdetails makes a difference, so you can take the maximum 100!

I think using Nvidia DSR (2560x1440) on a 1920x1080 Monitor and FXAA over driver will help a lot to get a "nicer" look.
