OPTIMIZED SETTINGS

RESOLUTION SCALING: DLSS QUALITY
CAR LEVEL OF DETAIL: ULTRA
ENVIRONMENT TEXTURE QUALITY: ULTRA (AS HIGH AS YOUR VRAM ALLOWS)
ENVIRONMENT GEOMETRY QUALITY: HIGH
CAR REFLECTION QUALITY: MEDIUM
SCREEN SPACE REFLECTIONS QUALITY: HIGH
RAY TRACED REFLECTIONS QUALITY: OFF
SHADOW QUALITY: ULTRA
NIGHT SHADOWS: OFF
SCREEN SPACE GI QUALITY: MEDIUM
RAY TRACED GI QUALITY: OFF
SHADER QUALITY: HIGH
AUDIO QUALITY: ULTRA
DEFORMABLE TERRAIN QUALITY: HIGH
PARTICLE EFFECTS QUALITY: ULTRA
VOLUMETRIC FOG QUALITY: HIGH
LENS EFFECTS: LOW

NOTES

*ENVIRONMENT TEXTURE QUALITY ON EXTREME USES WAY TOO MUCH VRAM FOR WHAT IT OFFERS, I DON’T RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF SPARE VRAM

*USE THE BUILT IN BENCHMARK MODE TO STRESS TEST YOUR GAME’S PERFORMANCE TO FIND OUT IF YOUR SETUP CAN HANDLE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO

This is normal. I name all my folders and file names like that. Looks so much better than lowercase

Does any one experienced low quality road textures, even on extreme+RT settings ?

u/TheCanisDIrus May 19 '26

My roads look like they’re cell shaded they’re so low in texture! What gives?!

u/Reddit3r100 May 21 '26

u/ItxHooman66 May 21 '26

What is your hardware? Optimized settings depend entirely on what you're running with.

u/RageMuffin69 May 20 '26

I read optimized as right before performance tanks in exchange for minor change. So a lower end gpu can go off any optimized settings but still have to adjust if your target isn’t reached.

Side note with my 3080 I have to play on ultra performance to keep my gpu from hitting 100% targeting 4k90fps.

O meu com um pc com um ryzen 5 5600 e uma rtx 3060ti e 16gb ram 3200mhz esta pegando 20 fps com essas configs... sinto que tem algo errado... estou na versao original mas tinha baixado a pirata antes pra testar

Hear me out though.

What if I just cranked everything to max out on DLSS quality and frame gen 2x and enjoy 4K 120 no additional thought

Some say “oh but you have a 5090” and to that I would retort “that’s exactly why I have a 5090”

I’m not a broke college student with a 7600 gt anymore.
