Definitely an underrated topic. I'm surprised how little this topic gets discussed in depth cause there are alot of gamers out there that are new to the pcmasterrace that needs help in understanding and tweaking these settings especially with the rise of pc handhelds as of late.

Motion blur is good only when it's either executed well and not over the top, or could be fiddled with in settings, but usually it's none of that.

I like when the game allows you to set the strength of the blur like The Witcher 3.

This is awesome. I have been playing games on PC since the ps4/xbone came out and had no idea what half of those settings meant. I usually just go with the premade defaults that play at a decent frame rate on my system and go from there. After watching this I now know of a few settings I could maybe tweak without lowering everything or vise versa for some more performance.

@robert.sec2 8 ай бұрын

this rules dude. If you have the space on the docket some day, I'd love to see something like this but specifically for emulator graphics settings. I've watched videos for how to set up emulators with "the best settings" for individual devices, but without knowing what each does, I'm left totally incapable of figuring out how to fiddle with stuff to get borderline playable games into something playable (this has been especially a problem with Gamecube/ PS2 stuff, as my retrohandheld is the chonky 405v)

@ionamygdalon2263 8 ай бұрын

This video was FANTASTIC!!!!! I really, really wish I could go back in time and show this to my young version of me! What is so unique about your videos, TD, is the fact that you have found the precise recipe: simple but never being simplistic. I think there was a quote by Pascal saying that a written letter of his would have been shorter but he did not have the time to do so 😂 I would also like to add something: For anyone owning a powerful Nvidia GPU and a FHD Monitor there is DSR (and the newer Deep Learning DSR, DLDSR) which acts like a better quality Anti Aliasing setting. Oh and a question... do you recommend adding a Frame Rate Cap using software like RTSS in tandem with V-Sync? I know there are a myriad views out there... I just want to hear your thought on adding a 60 or 59FPS cap in conjunction with V-Sync (given that the TV or Monitor is a 60Hz one)

@TechDweeb 8 ай бұрын

Appreciate it! Yeah DSR and DLDSR are great, when you're not bottlenecked by gpu performance that can make a world of difference to the image quality. Although I found DLAA pretty lackluster, barely any different from regular anti-aliasing. I haven't played around much with DLSS 3.5 yet though, it might have improved. And I'm not sure about the frame rate cap thing. I only bother manually setting an FPS cap when there's inconsistent frame pacing or stuttering issues. AFIK you'll still get tearing when not using vsync even with a cap. My general philosophy is to introduce as few points-of-failure as possible, so I don't see a point in doing a double vsync as long as your framerate is stable. I might be wrong but I can't see the benefit.

Dweeb love your videos. I just wanted to ask you what your thoughts are on external scalers? Like the photofast one... is it more or less doing what upscalers like dlss or fsr do.. I have em combined and max everything out @ 1080p, then upscale to 4k, but the trade-off is that I can't run higher than 60fps 😢

@TechDweeb 7 ай бұрын

I've never tried one to be honest. Does it work well? I guess my opinion would be to use local scaling if you have the option because there is no hit to latency or refresh rate. But I'd love to check one out some day.

@emmanuelluna5880 7 ай бұрын

@TechDweeb I mean for 60fps, it's very good, low latency too. Just can't run above 60, don't know if that's changed...

Huh. I always thought motion blur was supposed to be easier to run by not having to render an image worth looking at. I am definitely in the hate motion blur camp

@user-ty1it5gz4v 8 ай бұрын

Bloom, motion blur, depth of field, and ambient occlusion are the first things I absolutely always turn off. If I wanted to see things blurry, I'd take off my glasses. P.S.: Post-processing is another big one. A bunch of filters and effects that give the image its own specific flair. Usually worth keeping on for the original artistic vision, but it can be hard on the GPU, depending on the game. P.P.S.: Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is pretty great and worth watching. Not really a spin-off, more of a continuation.

@lou5368 8 ай бұрын

do vsync cap your refresh rate as well? e.g. my laptop has 144hz and running a game max settings and the game frames average let's say 90fps, so will that cap it to 90hz or just cap it to 60?

@MegabyteRedSector 8 ай бұрын

ok, I laughed hard at the PSX Lara mod. XD For more serious notes... I've seen Bloom effect game performance strangely enough... Ys: Memories of Celceta pushed my media center HARD with it running. Also, Motion Blurring is used to cover for lower framerates.... you can use it if it doesn't look smooth enough for you. Its not great, but more of a "last resort" way to cheat when the actual performance just isnt good enough.

Is there an explanation somewhere for how to use FSR with the stream deck? I'm not 100% in understanding of how that quick access menu interacts with the in game FSR setting. I found this video very helpful as I am somewhat inexperienced with PC gaming.

@TechDweeb 8 ай бұрын

You should use EITHER the in-game FSR setting, or steam's built in setting, not both. The steam setting just uses FSR to upscale the game if running at a lower resolution. Generally you should stick to the game FSR because it'll provide better scaling of the interface stuff.

@BenchtopProjects 8 ай бұрын

So if the game does not have FSR settings, do I manually set the in game resolution to be lower than 800p, and then apply Steam Deck FSR?@@TechDweeb

You need to show us how to get Blue Stacks running on a slow computer. There is not a good tutorial anywhere. I've been installing and uninstalling this trash for 4 years. It worked at first and then just sits there. I know when I first put it on they told you to change something in the computer, but new version don't tell you to change nothing so I'm guessing it was that.
