One thing I should note: throughout the video, you might notice some spikes in the frametime graph. These spikes are caused by Shadowplay and not the game. I'm testing the new Nvidia App and 120 fps recording because I'm too lazy to buy a proper capture card lol 😅

Hello For nvidia reflex to work properly u need set ur fps to limit where ur fps cannot go down blow in reality reflex is for esport games for exmaple in cs2 u playing 2K/FHD 240hz screen and ur fps could easly hit 350 fps in any scenario for the game then u lock ur fps to 238 fps or with guide from blur buster(need some testing for that) and u have both good frame time and much lower latency. If u running ur game without fps limit reflex will never work cause ur CPU or GPU is too busy giving each other data. And if u dont know Reflex or amd anti lag is nothing else than old Flip Queue Size which are with us for l;ast 25 years u could always change it where 3 is default that means ur system i making 3 frames ahead before you see it and they wait in biffer, and Reflex + boost set it to 0 which decrease performance and it always was like that and values above 3 increase lag but increase performance.

@@TheRandomDude-qy1ev Yep, great experience pretty much every modern GPU. I'm running 4k DLAA 120 fps with FG + reflex (4080 Super). One of the smoothest games ever. It would hit harder if there were RT features, but great even without. Have to test later how well this could handle dynamic super resolutions (DLDSR).

@dawienel1142 2 ай бұрын

@@Monsux My RTX 3080Ti is struggling a bit. I mean after optimisation it runs fine, but the 4070 super seems to be a lot faster in this game, not sure why. I'm getting around 70-80 fps when running quality DLSS at 1440p while a 4070 super gets around a 100 fps with the same settings. Thats a 20-30% difference for two GPU's that should generally be quite similar in overall performance.

@Monsux 2 ай бұрын

@@dawienel1142 This game needs just pure raster performance, so 3080 Ti will perform better than 4070 Super. One difference is the native frame gen support on 4070 Super. It's working great on this game. If the native game runs about 80 fps, FG + Reflex ---> 100+ fps. Have you tried the DLSS + FSR frame gen mod with this game? Not as good than the native FG, but should be smooth experience when the game runs high enough frame rate.

14:42 Hmm, as someone who has never played the game and never watched the beginning of the video, let me comment on the differences from this moment on. Some of the white parts of Aloy's outfit look a little paler, and it looks like there is no shadow falling on the NPCs in the distance. Even though I never see the image on the left, the image on the right actually seems not bad. 15:03 I couldn't see much difference between the two in this second image. 15:10 In the 3rd image, the lack of grass shadows in the close distance seems to be clearly visible, but I probably wouldn't care if I never saw the image on the left. 15:18 I couldn't see any difference in the 4th image. You have made very good optimization settings, thank you. The game can be played by selecting these settings blindly.

It would be cool if you did an optimized settings guide for Skyrim with the BethINI tool. It basically allows you to tweak performance/visual settings way more than the vanilla game & very throughly. Skyrim is easy to run yes but not with heavily modded playthroughs which is how most people play it, so instead of setting everything to "Ultra" & wasting frames it would be real cool if we could get a guide like this ^-^

Thank You for the Guide! Has anyone else noticed Frame Gen gets disabled every time you pick up loot? Simply search the loot pile and when the letterbox appears with loot info, FG gets disabled. And it will stay disabled until unless you pick up the loot and the letterbox disappears. I hope Nixxes fixes it soon as it is very annoying and completely unnecessary. Edit: This has been fixed in the latest patch v.1.0.43
