Hot spot hit 97 C in Outlaws but my max temp was 80, an improvement from yesterday. Maybe it was something in the prologue + higher RTX lighting settings?

Hot spot hit 97 C in Outlaws but my max temp was 80, an improvement from yesterday. Maybe it was something in the prologue + higher RTX lighting settings?
so all lighting with RTXDI is path traced but it's not considered path tracing in the traditional sense?
From what I can remember all motion blur off, 1440p, standard resolution so not the 21 or whatever ultra wide and high on everything
The best I can word it, within my limited understanding, is that RTXDI is an optimization for part of the path tracing process.
I'll leave it to the experts to correct me where I'm off.
7800X3D/4090 and 64GB 6000M/T, 3440x1440 and it runs great, I'm also using "-unlockmaxsettings" and set "streamer dedicated" to 8192 but it seems to always want to set back to 5000 something, I'll try setting the file to read-only. Only thing that isn't max is RTXDI set to High.
In the tutorial area and first time you see the canto bight from high above at night it's been around 100-130fps. (Quality DLSS/FG).
Was worried when I first booted up the game and it was 33fps haha, lots of stuff to turn on.
Only thing I don't like is the HDR, it seems like a grey haze over everything, RTX HDR seems to be better and can tune the contrast but it has a perf hit of about 10% ish.

What are the consequences of increasing that streamer dedicated number? Do we know actually what that's doing? Does it need to be proportionate to your video card memory?
When I loaded the game with the default and edited settings I didn't see any FPS change, but very noticable texture increase.
Image is undersaturdated because I guess HDR to SDR viewer or whatever, but look at the floor (right of Kay) between the two images, it's crazy!
RTXDI looks very nice but the performance hit is understandably large. I am fine with off and everything else maxed.
It also seems to add some minor stuttering. Not constant or anything like that but I get zero stutters with it off, and occasional stutters with it on.
I'm torn on using it. I can turn it off, crank everything else to 11 and be consistently 120fps
RTX 3080 - 4K - DLSS Performance
Mix of "optimized settings" and RT to medium
And "streamer dedicated budget" to 4096
Around 75 fps during prologue. Let's see how it goes later in the open areas
Ok... Performance is bad in Toshara (50 fps).
Anyone figure out a fix for the raised black levels in HDR? Preferably one that is compatible with frame generation?
Install this shader and enable it in game. Check SDR emulation box and you're set.

Well in the weirdest fucking problem I've faced with a game in forever, I have fixed my insta crash of enabling frame gen. I saw a thread for an AMD card for another game that the frame gen was crashing when the SteelSeries GG app was allowed to capture moments. Turned that off, frame gen enabled with no problem.
As for my temps, after frame gen was enabled I was curious and I maxed everything out, and in the heat of the day, it's still running hot, max temp of 85, hot spot of 103, but it's hovering around 78 which is about what I see with the vertical mount and case I have in other more demanding games. No more thermal throttling, and framegen makes this run so nicely.

Nice suggestion. Definitely helps. Looks much better now.
why is cinematic display mode greyed out for me? I have 32:9 screen and I want the cut scenes to not look like ass
How do you apply it in game?
Reshade menu is usually shift+F2 and then you enable it from the ReShade in game menu.
You install the filter through reshade (browse and find the Outlaws .exe), launch game, press home to bring up the reshade menu, click the black floor fix, then in the bottom menu click the sdr black floor emulation

Thanks, will try this tomorrow !

the game will pre-allocate VRAM based on the game area, to cut down on actively pulling assets from the SSD on demand.
It increases active VRAM usage quite a bit. That's probably the cause of stutter.
Seems like they can probably dial in VRAM usage and allocation, a bit better.
I'm also having frequent crashing. Tried every possible setting (turning off cloud saves, Ubisoft overlay, running in admin mode, various graphics settings), but then relented and submitted a bug ticket with Ubisoft on their discord. Hard to enjoy the game when it crashes straight to desktop every 10-30 minutes. Hopefully they can patch it soon.
What's irritated me most about the PC version is the amount of pre recorded cutscenes that stand out like a sore thumb playing the game.
Maybe a question for Dictator: does RTXDI performance impact linearly scale with amount and size of light sources (since every light emitter is now a contributor to direct lighting)? Or is it comparable to a physically correct version of the "clustered lights"-approach that was popular in deferred titles, like Battlefield 4?
So the frames just weren't there trying to max everything, maybe with performance patches or eventually just brute force it when the 5090 comes out. lol
I ended up turning off RTXDI completely, set every advanced setting from Max/Ultra to High, and DLSS to Balanced and this nets me 100+fps while playing at 5120x1440. I could do Quality for DLSS but my fps drops to around 70 using the speeder in the open world which is doable but I still wanted more frames. Balanced gives me like 90.
I also did the 8192 streaming edit and HDR ReShade fix and the game still looks great even if not maxed out.

So now that im home ive been playing with some of the settings you all recommended.
When RTXDI and Ray Construction is on is when my 4090 goes to sounding like a Jet, and its really loud. I've used ray construction with stuff maxed out in other games and tried them there, can't replicate it. Its weird

I haven't tried the streaming edit, do you notice a difference?
I also turned off RTXDI and maxed out the other RT settings
The HDR black level fix really helps. I hate elevated greys
Happening to a lot of us. Is it just loud or are your temps high too?
Would this look better on a 5800x3D/3060ti than a series x? Kinda underwhelmed on Xbox and seeing a lot of lovely Pc pics but I know my gpu is getting kinda meh.
tbh the streaming edit was noticeable with a before/after image but in actual gameplay I really don't notice much.
What I do notice is my VRAM maxing out the longer I play and my game turning textures into soup. This was happening before the edit too so I don't think it makes it worse or anything.
Lower your extra streaming distance and object detail sliders to fix the texture streaming issues. I had to lower distance to zero and detail to 100 on my 3070. I'm not sure what visual effects those have as the game looks just as good as before I lowered them and the textures have been fine for the past 5 hours
I'll try this, but at the same time there is no way this game should be eating up 24GB of VRAM on a 4090.. lol
its not actively using 24GB. It is attempting to intelligently pre-allocate data it may need, for the area you are in. That way when it does actively need it, it only needs to grab it from the pre-allocated pool already in VRAM. Rather than send a request out to the CPU, which then grabs it from the SSD and put its into the system RAM, and then sends it off to the VRAM, etc. The result should be smoother/faster gameplay or better looking assets actively loaded around you, or both.
Undoubtedly, they will need a patch or two, to optimize the behavior. But its not at all a new idea. Death Stranding, for example, does it. And also has a setting in the options, which gives you some control over it.
Most games don't actively need the VRAM of a 7900XT, 7900 XTX, 3090, or 4090. So if they can find a way to use it to benefit visuals and/or performance, that's good.
Does the object detail setting even really much of a visual impact? I maxed it out on my 4090 and didn't really notice a difference
Before they were hovering around 65-75 degrees, but when i tried to play just now they got up above 80
Ima wait for some changes, gonna let them work on it a bit. That CPU Update someone posted for the Windows Insider thing pushed the frames up even further forreal tho lol
I've never been a windows insider but I saw the HU video about Win11 24H2 boosting AMD CPUs, so I rushed to try it
Now I'm stuck in the dev channel of insider builds (so potential unstable updates moving forward) and apparently I can't get out without a clean windows re-install, but on my 5800x3D I have gotten better performance
I use a slight power limit on my 4090, highest temp so far I've seen in this game is 72.
CPU hits 70 in busy areas
Appreciate all you heroes beta testing a Ubisoft game on launch
