finally, someone explaining each settings yt was filled with max fps videos for this game

Also holy crap thanks for this. Really like that you showed each individual setting and explained mostly what it does. Tired of videos that are just "Yeah setting everything to low gives like 20fps more than high, idk there ya go."

Finally you put it up!!!! Was waiting for this because of how detailed you are and you actually explain what the settings are.

There is a hidden Sharpness option inside the Display tab, that is set to 0 by default, I strongly recommend checking this option and increase it, the game will look a lot better and less blurry! Thanks for the video, great as always 👍

I always appreciate how detailed your videos are, and the inclusion of the overall settings summary screen. Thank you!

Another one 😎 Thanks for taking the time to do this for us!

How didn't I find this channel sooner? GOLD information here! Keep up the good work! 👍

Good! This channel to the rescue as usual. It's so rare that this kind of through comparisons and research happen nowadays it feels like a blessing against all those channels recommending either running everything on low or some other tricks that could fall into the esoteric category haha.

Omg was waiting for this one!

I have never seen such a great detailed video for graphics settings in games except for this channel, i love this channel

Anytime I get a new game, you are the first person I look for on KZfaq for guides like this. Thanks for the quality info time and time again! (:

The Physics settings affects mostly cloth physics detail. Great video as always.

The GOAT of fps guides. BTW the game seems to have a vram memory leak when enabling frame gen atm so avoid it until they put an update out resolving the issue. Also thanks for putting a guide out for TFD. Wasn't expecting it so soon after requesting it

Best guide for this on KZfaq. Thank you.

Great optimization guide! 1 thing I found on Reddit which might be useful for some players: If you are crashing while using Frame Generation just close every program that can capture your screen! - For me it was Medal TV - I closed it and the game works with FG. Also don't afraid to set Anti-Aliasing to Ultra with FSR3 + FG since the game will be less pixelated. (The better the GPU the less blurs and pixels you will see ofc.)

I just follow your optimized settings with DLAA, medium ray tracing + ray reconstruction, with frame gen, the game runs at 170+ fps consistently with 4090 + i9 13900k, graphics is incredibly crispy and beautiful. Previously with everything ultra I was only getting 100-120, great improvement without noticeable visual downgrade, amazing work.

Thank you so much for explaining each setting and showing both the visual difference and FPS impact, and giving a recommendation for each. Helped to tune this well on my 6700 XT.

I'm primarily a console gamer but I have been gaming on my Gaming Laptop recently playing The First Descendant. This is an excellent video on graphics settings for us newbs, Thank You.

you are my savior. i was literally about to quit playing because the game was so demanding. These settings kept the beauty and took away the jagged and painful parts! Not sure how to explain other than you made my gaming experience so much better, and my PC isn't trying to burn itself down haha

Great video as always. Always my go to channel when it comes to optimizing frames while keeping the game looking decent

Always very thoroughly tested and explained. Thanks a lot !

this video is great. Thanks for breaking it down for every setting. You are the real MVP!

I have been following you for months, your videos are always excellent

This video is just perfect, thanks man for this amazing work !

I've waited for this!

Как всегда отлично! Очень ждал твое видео! Спасибо.

Great guide, shows everything, gives recommendations, and explains.

Hahaha I was waiting for this to come out! You’re definitely my go to guy for pc specs

Great job man was looking for this breakdown and was having a hard time finding it then your vid popped into my feed

Noo way, I was waiting for this!!!! I had to set my own settings and test all but I will compare with yours

thank you, with this optimization, I can go from DLSS performance to balanced while maintaining the same FPS.

I was waiting for your video, you have the best optimization guides in all youtube !!!

This dude doing gods work right here.

I have been waiting for your optimization video for this game, many thanks!

Great work as always!

AT LAST! WAS WAITING FOR YOU MY SAVIOUR!

Thanks for the vid, much appreciated.

a good stress test would be the white knight map and the 4 pillar mission with all spots activated at the same time. There is ton of enemies at the same time and the map itself is a frame drop mess. Good video btw :)

Thank you so much ! great video and u deserved my subscribe :)

That's why it's good to have a console and a pc... It's a win-win situation in such matters.

Great video! Thank you for putting this together!

Havent watched any of your previous vids, but wow! Take my sub sir! Good day!

i was looking for this video a week ago great job

Thank you, your videos are always appreciated

Was not expecting the king to make a guide for this game, I love you my guy. Also any chance for you to check back on dragons dogma 2? As apparently there has a been a lot of updates that help. As I would love settings for that game. If not then who would you recommend for optimization for games you won't or haven't done.

Wow the work put on this videos is amazing thank you for this hard work, I suscribed.

Thank you for this BenchmarKing! you're always my fav for optimization games.. =))

The best there is out there!

thank you. it rly improved for me

Has same good perfomance as on low settings, but now i can actually enjoy the graphics without losing fps, thanks

Great breakdown as usual. I want to add that while all the recommendations are good, the game performance completely changes after you're done with the story (Normal Mode). You'll be playing better and faster and there's going to be A LOT more stuff on the screen. Especially in a full party. Prepare to use some heavy upscaling unless you have a beast of a PC.

I think from now on you should make two separate optimized settings, quality prioritized and performance prioritized. Shadows on medium looks awful compared to high, but high still runs better than ultra. Just a little idea :) Keep up the good work!

deserve a sub. here ya go!

Is it just me or does nanite/lumen seem completely unworthy of the performance hit

Thank you BK!! 👍

Very detailed comparison and FPS count ✌️

great breakdown. i will subscribe.

❤ awesome video TY

"...if not leave a dislike..." No man, you deserve a like! ❤

Good video. Keep it up man

I would advice to test different DLSS quality levels with this game. The idea is, on my setup at 1440p both Balanced and Performance produce extremely good results, it might be comparable to Quality, so you could offset performance loss from turning RR on by lowering DLSS preset if you wish. And imo RR is desirable in this game due to various IQ improvements, picture looks more stable with it, especially when i.e. something like hair considered. Try testing it on Ultimate Bunny and you will likely see the difference on her hair.

Thank you for this insight!

So what did you settle on with DLSS and Texture settings? I assume you settled on off for DLSS but Textures you said didn't make much difference so just leave it on Ultra?

thank you, very helpful🙏

I just wanna mention, this game uses your fps to calculate your weapon fire rate, so your dps goes up the higher your frames are going from 30 to 120 is around a 25% increase in overall dps with most high fire rate guns. but going from 90 to 120 is only like a 5% increase.

good work, and thank you

Bro, thank you so much.

Thank you my king!

Nice video. Was using 4k, all high setting's and frame generation on. Looks like made good decision.

Thank you kind sir!

The king!

Thank you!

Strong work

Great video, can you do doom?

Tyvm. Now i know how to setting for shiny cakes

Great one, keep it up

1440p with Ultra settings, DLSS Quality, FG On, RT Off = absolutely incredible gameplay and visuals on a 4080 Super. 200+ fps when running around with Bunny is recommended lol

Thank you so much for this

Very good video!!!😀

thx again love ur videos

thank you for this had a go with the settings and it works like a charm :D

great explanation, thanks

Good stuff, ty 👍

Just wow, awesome work @benchmarking4386 ! Liked and Subscribed!

My setup: R5 3600, RTX 4070, 16GB DDR4 3600Mhz and I'm having several FPS drops. The game recommends me to play high, but even though I test it with everything at a minimum, it doesn't change. My monitor is 29 ultrawide (2560x1080). Obs: The game is installed on a nvme 5000MB/s.

Not gonna play the game but here's your thumb up for the effort buddy

Perfect settings, my only issue with this game is the random ass frame drops i get ... theses freezes are really annoying as hell especially in boss fights ... still can't figure what the hell is wrong but since im far from being the only one i can only guess its a gift from the dev's lol

Thank you so much

The best Video

let's goooo

if you plan on doing alot of group content. the "Effects" part of the video is a bit misleading considering this applies to ALL descendants in the area. including your group. so youre going to see a massive chug in performance

I have Radeon 6700XT. I play at 3440x1440. I have 150 FPS on fields. Some settings on ultra. My secret is FMF2. If you have atleast 6000 series card you can try it.

you should test physics on enemy kills. Fire a grenade launcher into a mass of enemies in the testing room or something. I love the ragdoll physics.

Is there any big loss in picture quality vs DLSS performance and DLSS quality?

great work as always! very thorough and helpful did you try testing enemy ragdolls for the "physics" setting? I suspect that's mostly what it's for - and likely CPU related

Thank you for the detailed video, the game looks much darker if the global illumination sets to low and I have to set it to medium so I can see more clearly. Aaaaand I wanted to ask something, when I turn on the frame gen & FSR my camera is kinda laggy like a smoothing effect on another game, is it because I'm using RTX card?

The epic game settings is really good. People underlook it thou 😂
