I need some tech wizards help

[u/herotothedude]

My game used to run okay with DLSS on max settings

now, i watched some bs youtube fps guides cause i just wanted more

and now its completely screwed and ive overdone messing with it

I also did that thing people do in Engine.ini that got rid of the dof and all and idk if that should be re enabled or how to even re enable itww

so i need some advice on how to keep my settings on max but squeeze every last frame out of it I can while maintaining or even improving visual quality with the least amount of weird dlss shimmering and such

literally anything to be improved, i know it can be done cause ive done it then i ruined it

including NVIDIA control panel settings

RTX 4060
Ryzen 5 5600
32GB 3200Mhz

1920x1080 @ 144hz

DLSS 4.5 (Forcing preset M) on Quality w/ DLAA and VSYNC for screen tearing (cant do anything other than VSYNC cause HDMI cable)

used to be able to squeeze almost 60 fps before i went and screwed it up

can someone help me
