That screen shot of all the settings at the end of the video after you have explained the reasons for each setting is a great service item for the viewers. Thanks

[@EnterpriseKnight]

I thought it was the usual 10 minute click bait video but I was wrong.

Bruda are you new here? everything he does he put that kind of thing near the end, really the channel is good!@@EnterpriseKnight

[@thames21]

I love this channel. I could do this myself but to check it all for myself would take so much longer. I'm amazed how many games I play and look-up, he has already done a benchmark on!@@LucasOhaiFilgueiras

[@axelmauritzon3098]

By far the best optimization-channel out there. Not only the actual best optimization but also the explanations, the timestamps throughout the video and the summary at the end. Has been my go-to channel for years. Thank you for your service!

[@Gubers]

Right? I mean, this is exactly what we all want when we look up these kinds of videos. So many of them are too fancy and detailed with the tech or total trash and just show side by side gameplay with graphs that aren’t useful. This format is absolutely perfect.

[@lilpain1997]

You legend, I literally was searching to help my friend and boom you release this. Now to send him this vid and hope he can optimise his settings for a better gameplay experience.

[@Gozzo1997]

I was literally asking this guy on discord how to best optimise and then he sent me this video and then I watched this video and now i'm playing teh game greatly.

[@lilpain1997]

@@Gozzo1997 omg that is crazy, I am in a call with someone who went by the name gozzo1997

This is by far the best performance analysis format I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you sir!

Normally I don´t subscribe to benchmark channels but you´re so detailed and straight to the point that I couldn´t resist. Thanks for all your effort.

[@dirkhoogsteen4406]

Nobody does these optimizations guides better then you do! Legend.

[@killrblue]

Been waiting for this one, love your videos!

[@andrejoss475]

This is the best optimization video i have ever seen for any game in my entire life i don't have a bad PC so i was just looking for settings that i could turn off to just make my computer quieter during gameplay and the comparison at the end is exactly what i needed being able to see almost the same quality while getting way better performance is the definition of optimization, finally someone gets it, thank you

[@maggnet4829]

In case you want the PC to become quieter you'll have to limit the frame rate after the optimization. Otherwise it will just churn out more images and the noise will be the same. A better way is undervolting and limiting your GPU and CPU.

[@ninemetal]

This was a very well put together video. I appreciated the explanations and examples of each setting and the summary of the optimized settings at the end. Earned my sub easily with the quality of this video.

[@saintarcherxiii2196]

i was looking out for this, thank you king, you're a blessing

[@Telekonate]

Your videos are hands down the most detailed, clear and helpful benchmark videos on the platform. I don’t even bother watching others at this point, thank you!

[@powermaster-30how-tovideos34]

love the side by side comparisons for every setting and the way you give info straight to the point - i was just hoping if you were making a benchmark video for this game and you did 🤩

Thank you. I've been waiting for this 🙌

[@DaimlerStool]

Thank you for this, King. I was looking for this last week, glad you got around to making it 👍🏼

The only channel I check when I need guidance on my settings. You do such detailed videos it's perfect !

[@mauromerconchini]

We appreciate the dedication, man. Good work!

[@mario9896]

Just watched 3 videos on this and for me and my setup this was great advice. Love how you walked through each setting with explanations and visuals. Well done sir!

[@owlenderg]

Running much better just skipping to the end and using settings, Thank you so much for going into detail over everything though! It's awesome when people take the time to go through every option to find out what works best, and I wanted to jump down here to give my appreciation even if I skipped over it! I'll save this video and come back to go through each setting if updates have me running worse ;P Thanks again!

[@ptr7715]

Best benchmark KZbin by far. Been waiting for this video since the game released. Thanks!

[@synth750]

As soon as the game dropped, I immediately bought it and checked out your channel frequently for updates, hoping that you would upload soon. Thank you for making this video and for your patience while waiting for the servers to clear up lol

[@PrimyFritzellz]

Man, I always look for the best way to optimize a game and not lose graphic quality. And a huge majority of channels just tells you what to use and don't really show a reason for it other than the FPS. But you actually show EACH and every setting and even explains what they do and show in game examples. Like holy shit!!! I don't usually subscribe to people who does optimizations but I will make an exception for you because I will 100% check you out in the future for more games I can change. Thanks man

[@avalanche-2792]

You are the best pc settings channel. You get to the point and show results. Thank you man !!!!

You’re goated for putting the optimized settings at the end in one whole screenshot

[@AutoCannonSaysHi]

Super nice going through this and tying the settings to what was happening on screen. They need your script in the setting extra details info that pops up. Way more clear than what they got up there for sure.

[@codownge29]

Very good in-depth quality, thank you!

[@Hybred]

Remember: if you are playing with AA off, turn off in game sharpening (or at least lower it) The sharpening setting exist because TAA is blurry, if you use it with no AA it will be overly sharpened. I noticed this in the video. Side note - theirs a mod on Nexus that adds different anti-aliasing options to the game

[@maldosogamer]

The mod asks you to disable TAA, which is a horrible choise for any game released in the last 10 years unless you're replacing it for DLAA or DLSS

[@Hybred]

@@maldosogamer yeah because the TAA in this game sucks really bad, TAA is not consistent at all because it varies from game to game since it's a *type* of anti-aliasing and not a very specific thing like SMAA is. Also it asks you to disable TAA because its replacing the games anti-aliasing so it needs to use none as a base, two of the included options in the preset are a form of TAA itself. You also are interjecting your opinion onto others quite harshly; anti-aliasing is a very personal preference type thing. The goal of the mod is to strike a balance between clarity and anti-aliasing, so you get a better compromise. If you're happy with the games AA already don't use it, it's for those who aren't.

[@11ELFs]

​@@maldosogamerTAA is shit, everything is muddy and blurry with this form of anti-aliasing

[@colbyboucher6391]

​@@maldosogamerNo AA at all is better than TAA lmao

[@colbyboucher6391]

It's just a ReShade preset, so it's not particularly good AA, the options that work don't use the depth buffer so menus will get AA'd too and it just looks like someone wiped butter over your screen.

[@datdude119]
