    Been waiting for your guide. Even though I already finished the game and roughly figured out my own optimal settings.
    I watch your guides even for games I don't own or have no interest in playing, just because the quality of your analysis is so good.
    Much more straight forward to the point than Digital Foundry.

      Can I ask you guys a question please?
      Should I jump in and buy it now after Friday's patch, considering you're 3 different players on different PC setups or hold off?
      My right is-
      Ryzen 7 5800x
      RTX 4070TI
      32gb ram
      M.2 storage throughout the system
      Any feedback would be great,as I'm really tempted and can't believe I've held off this long but there so many conflicting reviews on steam I'm trying to gather as much genuine feedback as I can,as it's been a strange year for PC.

    Thank you very much! i5-13400f, RX 7800 XT here. At 1440p, with RT reflections, the starting point on Sargasso was very hard on the FPS, but now it suddenly jumped to and above 70 fps without upscaling. This map, with its abundant vegetation, was the only place in the game where I couldn't find an acceptable solution above 60 fps with RT reflections. I would recommend the new XeSS 1.3 on Quality for even more comfortable gameplay, as it's a little better, on the fps too, than FSR 2.2, at least in my opinion.

    Once again you knock in out of the park with another excellent optimization guide. Id even go as far to say as your guides are better and more informative than Digital Foundry since you measure every single setting's impact to performance which is something they dont always do. I do hope the game receives patches for further polish and optimization. Keep up the great work.

    I'm no stranger to the series, so I know how visually varied all the environments can be, but I'd never have guessed how wide of a range of FPS they all had, lol. (When I first started as Rivet on a vegetation filled planet, the FPS taaaaanked). Luckily we have the BK. (Also, as long as the FPS is stable, I think this is a genre I can deal with even 30fps if I had to (that's what console is, after all)).
    Edit: I started the game back up and at planet in question the fps were more in line with other places. This game def has it's... quirks.

    I've been waiting for your guide or others who also do it very carefully. plus the game is so short that I ended up finishing 100% before they appeared on the internet, despite the media praise about the port, I had some problems with vram on the 3070 msm having 32gb to share VRAM I gave up using RT with 10 minutes of games o game simply doesn't make this switch like other games and even TLOUS today does, because I saw that this dropped a lot the RT msm putting the DLSS to 60fps I noticed that it was downloading the game to a resolution below the ultra-performance mode I don't know the game should be running at 480p, the game is so short that I just downloaded several things to high/medium and went after finishing the game and despite the game running above 80fps in this config it was very common for me to encounter drops in various environments to 40fps or less, and more a game full of features that other lighter games like HZD, God of war and even the forgotten days gone were not even considered to receive, and this one received all of them and it is almost impractical to use them in strong GPUs of the last generation and I don't doubt that I should just rotate everything with ease with Frame generation, but if for some this is a great port I won't be the one to question them maybe they are just referring to the fact that the game runs on ssd/slower disks but then no I know if this is merit because Remnant 2 does not have several similar portals in the labyrinth part and even in the final boss fight of the game where the boss is changing you from "world" in real time and there is zero marketing about it.

      2. Pirate the game from Dodi Repacks which comes with the online crack fix so you can play on the legit Steam and Epic servers with other people if you want.

    The stuttering is probably because of a VRAM bottleneck. Very high textures and RT uses a lot of VRAM iirc. Plus you're running on higher resolution though I think you're running an upscale method so it's not full 1440p render but still quite high.

    I’m playing this game on my aya Neo handheld pc but I can only get about 20 fps I’m not sure if it’s just that the device isn’t powerful enough to play this game smoothly and at a high fps

    For V. High Texture Quality Use Vram around 14-15 GB ( 2K + Ray + Max Setting )

      At 1080p with DLSS quality it was using like 9.5GB. It even used more than 10GB at times for me.
      And that is with all RT settings disabled, shadows and hair on medium, SSR on high.

      ​@@CosmicVoid420Crazy. Seem like 6GB or even 8GB already doomed.

      At 1440p native with textures on high the game used 6.5-7GB for me.

    Its weird changing settings a lot made the game run at 20 fps in that night city scene but after rebooting the same scene ran at 50 Fps

      Some settings in games change only after a restart (this is less common these days though)

      ​@@DuckyUmbraNo he means changing any settings in game completely tanks his frames up until the point he reboots

    I disagree with some of this.
    The most important setting for visuals is level of detail. I have it on ultra. It makes the biggest difference.
    Textures on high look a lot better than medium but also lose a LOT of fps for me so I left them on medium.
    Hair quality is only visible during cutscenes. Medium looks great. For gameplay, very low looks the same.
    Reflections are a big performance hog. I like nice reflections as much as everyone else but I ended up setting it to off because it's too demanding.
    I also have shadows and weather on low.
    For upscaling I use FSR performance. I like it better than XeSS because it looks sharper.
    Particle effects are also a huge performance hog but sadly there is no graphics setting to control them.
    Overall this is a pretty hard game to run well. Some of the planets perform poorly compared to others and fps drops during combat are inevitable with the crazy amount of particle effects.
    Many gamers will have to do like me: set everything to low-medium and only crank up 1 setting that's really important to them.
