RTX is still brand new and every game emphasize on different features. Those articles are more for enthusiast, wanting the best performance-quality ratio. Most of my friends I could show all those screenshots and they wouldn't notice any difference in half of them. If you don't care much about image quality and performance, let's say you're happy with 1080p/1440p at 30fps, just use one of the graphics presets and have a go.
Thank you for this. I have basically the same system, so this has been extremely helpfulIf you want to get more performance your first options should be Screen Space Reflections and Volumetric Lights. As in many modern games, especially Quantum Break, those settings cost and could gain huge performance steps.
If you have a GTX 1070 and aim for 1080p at 60FPS you should set at least one of those to medium, preferable Volumetric Lights since the difference is smaller than going from SSR high to medium. If you aim for 1440p at 30fps (GTX 1070) you could leave both at high since fps are around 45 with both on medium.
MSAA comes with a very small performance hit (I have MFAA activated in the NVCP), around 3-5%, so I would leave it on 2x.
Here are comparison screenshots:
Everything maxed out, 2xMSAA, no RTX, 1080p
Volumetric lights on medium, rest maxed out, 2xMSAA, no RTX, 1080p
As above but Screen Space Reflections on medium
Everything maxed out, 1440p internal, 2xMSAA
Volumetric lights and SSR on medium, 2xMSAA, 2160p internal
System: i5 4690k, GTX 1070 (slight OC, Clock and RAM speed +180Mhz), 16GB DDR3 RAM. Installed on SSD.
I don't think there's an option for it, but maybe through .ini files?
An i7 5930K running at around 4.3 Ghz. Praise be to the jaguar cores on consoles ensuring games aren't doing anything too demanding CPU wise. The 4K monitor helps to ensure I am GPU bottlenecked in most circumstances too, of course.
Yes.
Hmm I hope someone can check it. I want to get this game but the motion blur is pretty ridiculous for me.
Did you restart the launcher or tried to sign off and back in again?
Thanks for this. I didn't want to criticize this guide per se. The options with RTX, DLSS and now image sharpening (and, well integer scaling) just adding new options to already existing settings. I always loved and hated tinkering with those settings on PC as I tend to focus more on graphical things that I could improve than on the actual game. It's probably one advantage of consoles as you just play and can't do anything about those things anyway (mostly).If you get super into the technical details it can be pretty confusing, but this should help:
The eye is the camera, and the solid line is a ray. We fire that through the scene. If it hits a blue surface it's passing through a window or other transparent surface, so we bounce that ray to generate the reflection.
When it hits the geometry at the back, we bounce it in up to 3 different ways, depending on the settings you have on.
So ultimately, you get realistic reflections, reflections on windows, super nice shadows, and nice lighting.
Is that sharpening thing inside the game option or you have to enable him in the nvidia control panel? Does it work with a 1070 or it's a rtx card exclusive??
I don't think they've added support for freestyle yet.
Ah ok, i don't like gf experience, is not even installed in my pc lol.
1440p ultrawide is less than 1440p 16:9 right? Resolution wise.So is the opening area just better optimized than the rest of the game due to the fact that it isn't dealing with a ton of heavy physics yet from combat? I have everything maxed + Raytracing on High without using DLSS at 1440p ultrawide and it's running at a near consistent 90FPS for me.
For reference I'm using a 2080 ti paired with an i7-9700k
It appears to be. At least, I don't think the transparent reflections (of the windows to the right of the flag) in this shot are cube maps.
