I did test DLSS Quality on my end, using the same settings, except HBAO enabled I was able to go from 125-138 fps with my 3060ti (1440p) Tested it in a empty field where my frame rate was consistent, off on, off on every time 120's to 130's not a dramatic difference but still 11% so it made up for the HBAO and than some. Though I do know it can vary from system to system, still shocked you manage to get such high framerate in this game, I get 4080, and i9 but dang 300's this game basically maxes out my cheap Ryzen 3600 lol

Great performance guide with data to back it up. However PLEASE note, I know it’s not possible to test but some of those recommended graphics settings does reduce your performance more when you’re playing 128 conquest. Especially in areas with many players, Hugh number of objects or modes like rushXL. Mesh and lighting on medium for example has a performance hit. I turn these on low due better uplift in congested areas. My competitive settings, textures & filter on ultra, everything else on low or off. 1440p native. Under nvidia control panel, imaging scaling sharpening to 45%. Color settings gamma to 1.03, digital vibrance to 56%. I’m running a 4070ti.

@TechGuides Жыл бұрын

@@TechGuides thanks for your comprehensive effort. Just letting viewers know the performance on a real world match with 128’players vs simulated bots is different. You’ll always get better performance with bot matches, less stress on system resources. The margins of the difference in graphics settings are wider in a real match. Please check. Anyway thanks for everything.
