Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PC | Performance Optimization Guide + Optimized Settings

[@ZykopathOfficial]

I forgot to mention that I didn't find any situation where the "Decal Rendering Distance" setting made a difference.

[@LuizRemy]

Also this option seems to be broken... well, at least at my pc with 7800x3d + 4080 super. I made playable with everything at max but before that, this option was messing up and sometimes it just drop to 10-20fps or even crash the game. I solved by changing the configuration and restarting the game

[@Freemasons1732]

I also looked at RT reflections, and it has a pretty major effect when i enabled it in the priests office to see the Bronze heaters pop, showing reflections and its color, and absorbing the light to show it fully instead of a dark area. It seems to not effect things like water, but metallic surfaces.

[@abutalsafuba2179]

Rt reflection on its own does nothing. You have to enable RT illumination too to see the effect.

[@219SilverChoc]

Good video, apperently Series X uses a form of RT lighting that's lower than Low (with Series S far below). What's frustrating is that the RT looks good on consoles, way more stable than Lumen atleast, so it not being an option for lower end PCs is frustrating as I imagine it would run even better if you could drop RT lower.

[@mi5iu491]

This doesn't have lumen this isn't unreal engine 5..... and this game does have lower ray tracing by default. That's why u need a ray trac8ng capable gpu. If u want full ray tracing enable path tracing. Console level ray tracing is on by default

[@betobolt9212]

@@mi5iu491what he said is that, on consoles, the game runs on settings that are lower than the "low" settings in PC. That's why the Series S version runs at 60 locked while not looking horrible. And he's questioning why we can't use these options on PC too for global illumination.

[@556miles]

Well done👍 Optimization can be magical. Considering the cost between different tiers of GPUs, exmp 4070ti vs 4090, optimizied vs unoptimizied can match framerates between the two with near identical visuals.

[@Albertocp522]

Great analysis. Thank you!

[@casard01]

Thank you, it really helped me a lot to play properly with my RTX 3070.

[@RJTHEGAME]

Great video my man I'd strongly recommend going no higher than High for Texture pool size since the vram demands in this game are a joke especially once Full RT is enabled That's if you have a 16GB GPU, if 12GB maybe medium I was able to get FULL RT working on a 4080 with no issues once I set it to the above using DLSS performance/Balanced

[@svennikolajsen6624]

I heard turning off vegetation animation quality should remove the shadow shimmering in the forest area?

[@_Quint_]

@@svennikolajsen6624 you definitely get a pretty big bump to performance if you disable the sway of the branches, but the trade off is the trees look like something out of a CoD game from fifteen years ago.

Thanks, I love your optimization video, cause it's always works most of the time, let see if my 3070 8gb vram can handle this

[@LeaveittotheMattster]

As for the performance issue with VSync Off in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, turn off Low Latency Mode or Ultra Low Latency Mode in NVIDIA Control Panel or NVIDIA Profile Inspector either for this game or globally.

[@Aryan-y2o3x]

Yes hell yeah. Thanks for the video

[@Omarock]

I don't get the vsync off issue on my 3070. I found the inconsistent frametime problem can be mitigated by setting an fps lock to the lowest value that you can consistently hit (aim for a linear graph). It makes a huge difference in input lag and how smooth the game feels (100fps lock works well for me).

[@ehcor]

Having Low Latency Mode ON/Utra in the Nvidia control panel for this game causes performance problems. Also, having Texture Pool Size on Ultra on the recommended settings is just wrong since the game is more dependent on VRAM as it was said in the video. The game warns you if youre going over VRAM.

[@gruuli]

yoooo thanks man! :)

[@VirtualityPCGaming]

Great analysis as always. The stutter and frametime inconsistency is currently the worst aspect of the game which I hope they fix in future updates.

[@_Quint_]

For those with a 4000 series card, do this to run path tracing @60fps WITHOUT frame gen: 1. Reduce texture pool to ultra or high. No visual difference. 2. Disable ray traced reflections. SSR in most outdoor scenes is very comparable and you're really only losing glass cabinet visuals - which don't even reflect the player avatar anyway. 3. Reduce foliage interaction to High. Everything still moves at this setting. 3. Profit I'm on a 4070 ti Super and I'm outputting 2160p with DLSS set to Performance. It's a very clean game on a 65" display.

[@paulgilson2347]

Definitely going to disbale ray traced reflections and give that a shot, good idea.

[@gregorB92]

still cant do shit with my 4070 ti lol 12gb vram just not enough for pathtracing

[@NOTH4R]

I really doubt that. The 4070 ti Super is basically a card between the 3080 ti and the 3090 which can barely hold the game at 45 fps at 1440p just with RT Shadows on. ( Personal testing ). So where is that 4k coming from my guy?

[@_Quint_]

@NOTH4R it makes no difference to me whatsoever what you believe, pal. I'm not into wasting people's time. Btw, you're incorrect as to the hierarchy: the 4070 ti Super sits above the 3090 and just above its own ti version. You can find all kinds of comparison videos demonstrating this on KZbin.

[@ImperialDiecast]

i read people with 4070ti supers they bought only a few months ago already having to use dlss performance and stop using ray traced reflections and i weep.

[@tourmaline07]

I'm having horrible framerates with the Vatican map with a similar CPU to yours - am finding that in the town I'm stuck around 40-50fps with a 8700k running at 4.7Ghz all core . This with a 4080 Super at 4k with DLSS Quality and moderate path tracing. The engines performance stats suggest that the game could hit 100fps without bottlenecks . I know my CPU is ancient and want to replace this in the next year or so but still....

[@robg2789]

My cpu temp has been going up 80 and 85 while playing this game I lowered most of the textures to medium & low any idea how to fix that issue? I've had my pc for about a year already running a 4070ti with intel i7- 13700kf CPU

[@hekasoram]

RT Reflections are visible in a room where let's say light falls on a leather couch and a desk. Have a look in Voss office It creates a shining surface much more realistic than if RT Reflections would be off

[@farlansangel]

kinda weird bc im running a 4070 super on a ryzen 7 5800x with hdr and full raytracing and dlss on high and framegeneration and get 120 fps?

[@anthonyrizzo9043]

Most of your performance, probably came from switching from dlaa to dlss quality, thats a huge difference in itself and i would show the performance without either of those first to see what actual quality settings did.

[@raresmacovei8382]

No RT/PT options for non RTX GPUs. No FSR 3.1 at launch. No FSR3 FG at launch. Dogshit LOD distances for vegetation in raster, dogshit shadow resolution AND shadow resolution in raster. PT exclusively having HIGHER LODs for both vegetation and raster. Stupid performance overhead from PT with changes barely there. Terrible technical state on all platforms IMO. There's also no reason for this game to be RT only. This isn't Metro Exodus Enhanced level, not even close.

[@saphyre-l4w]

How can we improve the input lag? It's really really high in this game.

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Inside the config file, there is an option to disable the mouse smoothing. It's enabled by default. Should help with reducing the input lag by disabling that. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥴

I have a 4070 and a 14400f, running off an nvme drive. I have all settings on high apart from textures and shadows on medium and can use full path tracing at 4k dlss performance, so upscale from 1080p. This gets a solid 30fps which I'm absolutely fine with.

you should probably do some tweaking, cause im geting better than that with a 3060ti

[@PCgamingbenchmarktime]

I'm getting frame pacing issues with my 9800x3d and 3080, nothing gets rid of it unless I run it at a fixed refresh rate. Can't be vram because I tested it out at 1080p also and with textures and shadows on low. I noticed the odd cpu behaviour when using the games built metrics, I'm not sure what's causing it but it makes the game unplayable for me, I can't stand bad frame pacing. Much more noticeable with a controller, not sure why no one is mention this problem lol
