  1. I always had stuttering and frame drops no matter what setting I used then I learned that msi afterburner and riva tuner are the cause of thirst issues once I turned them off the game ran completely fine

  2. such quality detailed optimization guide, you really do set the benchmark like a king. Lazy developers make games these days that can't be played without optimization

  3. This game is a visual treat but damn boi is it poorly optimized, just for giggles i turned everything up to the absolute max and to my utter shock i was getting FPS numbers in the single-digit realm… Don't get me wrong, the game looks awesome but it doesn't look "4090 worthy awesome"!

  4. for GPUs with 8GB VRAM only, setting "Texture Resolution" to medium is crucial for 1440p quality DLSS render or 4K performance DLSS render, otherwise a lot of texture will flat out just fail to load! after playing almost every game uses Frame Generation, surprisingly this feature is deeply baked into the game's engine and THE best implementation of the technology so far, definitely changes more than just adding a less detailed frame between "regular" frames! very interesting, and impressive.

    @BenchmarKing what DLSS render resolution did you use in the comparison section at the end?

  5. Long Version: watch the video guide
    Semi-Short Version: Turn off RT options & play on Medium preset
    Short Version: Turn off RT options
    Even in Medium settings.. still better than PS5, PS5 is a mix of low & medium
