  1. I’m not praising Frame Generation and I hate CPU-limited games with no settings to adjust or scale CPU performance.
    But right now, there’s no other way to maintain high performance. Even with Low settings, upscaling, and a good CPU, you’ll still drop below 60 fps in populated areas.
    Let’s hope GSC Game World addresses the CPU performance issue soon.
    *In the Optimized Settings section, Clouds should be at Epic instead of Medium.

  8. Thanks for this, i set up most of it like you recommended and game works a bit better, but i left textures at epic with my 4070 Super. I always love texture setting leaving on max because it gives the best quality of the game overall with maintaining settings like shadow and AA on decent values to not have weird looks on textures. I also don't really like the frame generation option because it increase input lag, but seems like here it's not that big of the deal becuase of how it ease the CPU usage.

    I also think that Foliage is best to leave on High or Epic if u already achieved a good amount of performance boost from previous settings. I don't really like when i move and objects suddenly appear infront of me like those trees on your video on medium settings. You can see that in high and epic you can barelly see that something pop up.

  18. I've been following you since more than year I think. And you know how you are different than the others? Cuz on the thumbnail you show the truth optimization results and not some unimaginable scores like 55fps > 200 fps!

    Keep it up brother ❤
