Mass Effect ANDROMEDA best possible graphics

"UPDATED" in Nvidia control panel

this guide is to get the best possible graphics and still keep 90-100+ fps on a 1080ti and 1080
@ 1440 you may need to adjust slightly depending on cpu and the 1080 8GB.
this will work for 1080 resolution as well with a much higher FPS...enjoy the monster graphs!

in certain areas you will dip slightly below 90- 100fps.for the most part you will see 100+
on tempest and virmire you will drop to low 70s randomly

P.S...if your running a lesser card in 1080 resolution you may be able to pull off these settings.
you'll need at least a 4GB GPU.may have to turn supersample dowm or to multi or off.

game settings

the most important here is the effects quality and the shadows quality.they give a huge fps hit.effects being the most damaging.only effects quality is turned to high. on ultra you will take a huge fps hit..
if you cannot hold these settings drop the vegetation setting to high..especially on virmire
(vegetation,terrain,shadows and effects to high or med on lesser cards)

nvidia control panel settings

***UPDATE***since the games optimization you are now able to turn effects to ultra and use DSR-Factors to 4.00x (native resolution) and DSR smoothness to 25% *** UPDATE***

super sampling is one of the more important here it really makes the graphics come alive.try to keep this on x8 (supersample) if you have to adjust for more fps. multisample will give you the most fps...

noticed vsync is missing i have VSYNC set to fast.
film grain off will give more shine

for those having performance issues you can try setting in nvidia control panel
the power managment mode to preffer maximum performance.this
will make your gpu run 100% at all times.simular to overclocking and will
not damage card

.play with the brightness of game as this effects the sharpness and shine on armor and such.(brightness,contrast,gamma) mine are @ brightness +27% contrast +22% gamma +1.37% digital vibrance +58% in the nvidia control panel.the darker the more it pops! lighter settings have theyre own great look as well adjust to your unique taste.
these settings will vary due to your monitor settings.

summary

ive come up with these settings during 250+ hours of gameplay which consists of 2 full playthrus.one at 95% and one at 90% completion.am on my third now.this is the best balance i could achieve for the best possible graphics and a decent FPS with no lag or tearing at this time.

as you can see in my screen shots in my profile the progression ive made.started out with my
gtx 980ti classified 6gb card.realized ultra was not possible across the board.so a
GTX 1080ti black edition 11GB was purchased. and thus it began this is my final result.
hope this works for you and you enjoy this great game as much as i am.peace...Guy

after all this is why we're PC gamers to play games in their full glory!
