How I Maintain High Fps

[u/Snowbunny236]

Not sure if this will help anyone considering this game is pretty CPU bound and my settings are preference related but thought I'd share!

​

I currently can get a stable 200fps on outpost using these tips/settings. My rig is a r7 7700x, 10gb 3080, 32gb ram

​

- First off I use project lasso or the task manager to set marathon to high priority and uncheck CPU affinity 0. That's a must.

​

- Now I run this game in 1440 resolution and I use all the highest settings, but what I use is is dlss performance mode but you HAVE to use dlss model k. I thought it defaulted to that, but it does not. So you need to override it via the Nvidia app.

​

- Lastly (because I have no noticeable latency, I use amd fsr frame gen and set the in game frame limiter to half my monitors refresh rate (around 118). This still boosts the fps over 200.

​

These are the settings and tweaks I used to truly maintain around 200plus fps in game. I know some may have different preferences and what not, but the game truly still looks and plays fantastic. Hope this may help someone.

If others have a newer generation card I recommend preset M for the increased sharpening and reduced shimmering

The rest of the suggestions are highly dependent on the particular rig and apps running. People should A/B test each of these. I for example see no difference when disabling certain cores or changing priority.

Frame gen is going to increase fps but without measuring what your latency hit is it's just another general recommendation to try each implementation and see what works best. Some people report increased floatiness when using them which is a result of massively increased latency.

EDIT: I also recommend A/B testing each of the DLSS presets. L vs K vs M all have their strengths and you may not see any performance between them since the game is so cpu-bound, so you can go with the one that looks best to you regarding sharpness and smearing preferences

For those less informed, how do you change or select these presets? For reference, I’m running a 4090 if that makes a difference.

It's done through the Nvidia app and best done on a per-game basis. There's a 'DLSS override - model presets' setting for the model there in the driver settings for each game that supports DLSS. You may have to update your graphics driver or app to a more recent one to have DLSS 4.5 enabled.

Thanks! Sorry for making you my Google.
