I didn't expect such an extensive analysis, damn. You deserve more views, I'm subscribing. Keep up the good work!

This is precisely what I look for when I search for optimized settings. Most of the times I don't find what I need. Thank you, for your work

I really like these types of videos, just a tip puts in the end a gameplay with the optimized preset vs the ultra.

We need more videos like this with every game. Especially with how demanding/poorly optimized games are becoming its great to know how much each setting impacts game and in what why. Especially if you have a budget GPU and need to get every fps out of it since the cost to upgrade keeps going up.

This wasn't the video i was looking for, but i had to drop a like, for the extensive effort you put into optimizing the gameplay experiance. i respect the work you put in

The best video out there showing what each setting does and looks like. Amazing video keep up the great work

tldr:- everything on max except shadow and grass on high and volumetric on medium or high ps you can disable sharpening chromatic abberation and vignette through mods giving a better looking game with performance gain and motion blur in ingame settings

Thank you for the quick but detailed explanation and comparison of all the settings! The quality of your video is far above most other relevant videos I watched regarding this topic. Keep up the good work :)

I always come back to this video when I start tinkering with this game. Love this.

Thanks for the settings, this fixed my crashing issues. I have an RTX 3070Ti and Ryzen 5800x for anyone wondering.

Great video! So many others are just misinformation and you even have information on stuff Digital Foundry failed to see, like the reflection and water surface quality!

very helpful! really appreciate the depth of your description with each setting

I Appreciate the Effort and time you put for this video for each setting, the Edit is very good and straight forward as well.

Gran video, este tipo de trabajo es el que realmente se necesita para conseguir un juego fluido y de buena calidad, gracias.

Depth of field in gaming is often as in the case of Elden Ring the setting for when or if distance fog is applied. You couldn't tell because you looked for the wrong thing.

Just wanted to let you know that In DLC effects quality setting matter way more. That settings (It were set to MAX) was decreasing my fps by 10 (from 60 to 50 fps) in some locations. When i turened it to low i got my 10 fps back.

What a great guide! Thanks for putting that together it was exactly what I needed

This was the only useful video that hit every point I was wondering about kuddos man

Vraiment du bon boulot, l'analyse est poussée à son maximum Good Job ;)

Loved it friend, keep these videos coming. We appreciate it.

Also, a suggestion... Infact you've done it before. A before and after optimised video comparison of all settings. I think you did that for GOW..

Great video. perfectly stated. I am running this beast of a game on a 2070, and i appreciate seeing real time, the effects change. I thank you. My gpu fan thank you. Subb'd.

Awesome... it is purely awesome, and well explained. Thanks pal

Another quality video, good work!!

The video is great since the performance difference's is what's interesting. Shader quality can change the feel of the game completely though. I run with medium since high can make the whole scene glow in some instances. Effect quality is most notable in spell/effects. The difference between settings is quite large. Also higher settings add some kind of faint sharpening filter, or if it's a parallax effect adding sense of dept and contrast, dunno.

This was actually so helpful, thank you for this video

Amazing video man! You just won a new subscriber here! Keep going!

very nice guide man, keep it up

Very helpful, thank you =) #edit I came here because I felt like my game looked "off", knowing what those settings change and having a recommendation really really helps. Looks great now! Feels much better too

tysm just what i was lookin 4

Why is this game so horribly optimized 😭

Great video, well done man

bruh, this is just another level of analysis, thanks man, your vid make my graph better but still playable though.

Nice Video 👍🏻 and you got a new Sub ❤️ Ques: Should I enable or disable auto detect best rendering settings? And what does it do?

Nice job. you can use flawless widescreen to uncap 60fps limit in games

Effects quality affects the most in the dlc area seems it picks up a ton of invisible light sources

Your channel is literally the best benchmark channel

Thanks a lot for testing these things out man, I had such a painful experience with this game because of poor optimization and this video really helped me out to make my game perform and look decent at the same time.

The G O D of optimization guides!!!!

Amazing video, great analysis, definitely gonna use these settings in my pc

with the foliage setting if your pc is nto that good, just keep it on medium and think the gardeners in the world are doing a pretty good job keeping grass short =))

Excellent video! Wish you luck on youtube, deserve it 😉

Thank you for this explanation video

great analysis, i'll apply this next time i open the game

Thank you. This is great for us noobs who don’t know anything about video graphics!! Subscribed! 😊

Great job my friend!! I fixed my pc, and trying to search some good settings before trying to play

Nice video I like stuff this. I don’t know why but I find little topics like this interesting. my machine can run this at max settings 60 fps I found this video quite entertaining keep it up dude

hey, thank you ! i use this video for my steam deck (i prefer quality than battery life, with this preset it only 1h30 lol) but it's above 40fps all the time, and almost 50 in certain area ! it's very descent, thank you again from france :)

Great video Bro! Thank you....waiting for DLC

Really well made video, thanks for your time! I’v noticed that playing on borderless makes the game feel smoother compared to fullscreen. Any opinion on that?

Exactly what I needed, thanks!

Good video, ty so much. Another sub for the books.

@BenchmarKing thank you for the video! A lot of people want to see Genshin Impact Optimization videos. With your dedication and how you work, you can help many people with the settings. And I hope it can give you a lot of views, coz every Genshin Impact video does, haha.

such a good video!! Loved it

Best in class videos ... please keep doing this ... and test more games ... 👍💐

Big thanks too for this great video 🔥

very nice video my friend, great job!

nice video man good work

Saving this for the dlc lol

well done, thorough and straight to the point

Thank you, succint and informative.

I think Depth of Field might only work in cutscenes.

Thanks a lot- Its very good video. it helps a lot :)

you do important work for all pc gamers

thx for the video man, very useful

I love u. You really helped a lot, thank you!

Even on max settings, there is still a lot of aliasing and shimmering on distant trees and grass, and there seems to be an intense sharpness filter that is very evident on a 1080p display. Is there a way to reduce this?

Really good and helpful video.

ty exactly what I was lookning for

Very helpful thank you 👍👍

Awesome video, thanks bro

Best video ever! Great content!

No bro, obviously you will get more subcribers for that atention to the Quality explaination ❤

FYI, this video was uploaded when the game version was 1.05. (It's 1.10.1 now, as of late february 2024.)

Thanks buddy.. exactly what I was waiting for... And first??

Shader Quality controls the waves effects on water

Thank you for this, my pc just barely doesnt reach 60fps on max settings and sometimes crashes in farum azula, but i never knew which settings to turn down/off without making the game look too much uglier

Thank you Sir huge huge help

Best optimization channel ever.

great video, thanks a lot

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot

Should I keep "auto detect best rendering" on or off?

Thank you brother. I owe you one.

Keep this great work

If you want performance, get the mod to disable that giant tree in limgrave. Eats a lotta FPS. And great to see yet another unoptimized AAA title, that too a combat focused one. Great going fromsoft. Wish you'd put some more optimization into your titles.

Man WOW, i was searching a good analysis of elden ring settings and i see this ahhaha... op analysis.... i have a question, which settings are more cpu intensive? shadow quality seems to not affect quality but a Little bit cpu usage.. anyway tahbks you. Ps. you grows fast beacuse no one does this videos with dept analysis without shitty useless settings in Windows 😂

Great video!

you should start a patreon so we can buy you games so you can test more of them and do more amazing guides like this

In Sekiro I get stable 60 fps in 1080p and maximum quality, with Elden ring I get 35fps in the minimum settings... If the share the same engine, wtf they did in elden ring?

Excelent work

Great video, but Shader Quality (and likely many others) do work, but seem to be very situational. Shader Quality in particular appears to affect some sort of tessellation effects. You can notice this most significantly on coastal waters for wave deformation. Quite substantial performance impact also on the low end, being the difference between about 40fps and 60. I do NOT see a difference between low and medium, however. So it's questionable what else the setting affects at varying settings. This in mind. DOF for example likely only applies in scenes with a more static DOF in effect, not the usual dynamic DOF from narrow perspectives like aiming. Again. Worth it? considering these effects are situational, I suspect they may perform poorly when applicable on the low end, and given their situational nature, probably not worth the sudden/unexpected performance impacts that may result.

Thank you so much!

thank you soo much man

Thanks man!

Muchas Gracias! Muy util!!

I still don’t understand how to setup graphics properly I had everything on the lowest setting and my pc wasn’t having it, did what you told me to do and it looks amazing and runs amazing, wish it was as simple as console but it does feel cool when you get it right.

good video. thanks.
