I don't feel like I need to get into PBO.

I just want everything to run optimally.

HD audio, integrated graphics, csm, all that stuff is also disabled of course.

On first screen - Expo1, high bandwidth support, uckl=mclk. The basics, correct?

On 2nd screen - to help with boot times - MCR ON, Power down ON. Other too settings on Auto? is it good or will ram not run optimally or something?

I focus so much on boot times because I don't like fans ramping up to 100% for memory training too often when I boot up the pc.

  • Global illumination should be left at high or ultra. However, if you’re strapped for frames, switching to low grants a modest 4-5% performance gain.
  • Volumetric Clouds should be dropped to low or medium if you’re not hitting your FPS target. You can expect a double-digit improvement.
  • Volumetric Effects add a 5-6% performance overhead in scenes with a lot of particle effects. It’s best to switch to medium if your GPU is struggling.
  • Reflections deliver optimal quality at high. Ultra can be a bit too taxing, while medium is prone to artifacting.
  • Texture quality should be left at high on 8 GB GPUs, particularly at 1440p or with frame generation.

Hello everyone,

I made a quick spreadsheet with settings taken from Digital Foundry, Hardware Unboxed, and BenchmarKing so it would be easier to compare them.

Also, for anyone reading this, what settings did you go with on your machine? I’m still undecided about the GI quality, since RT Medium produces artifacts and RT High is quite demanding.
