What does Dynamic Range: 32-Bit +3% mean ? 3% more Fps ? 3% more power ?

[@MythozTheMyth]

@@Ixiah27 3% more Fps compared to 64-Bit

[@Ixiah27]

Im more interested in decreasing my GPU temp, is there a Guide for that ?

[@MythozTheMyth]

@@Ixiah27 There are three ways you could look up: 1. Change your gpu fan curve to allow higher fan speeds 2. Cap fps and reduce graphic settings for lower gpu usage 3. Undervolt your Gpu, reduces the max performance but also the power draw

[@Ixiah27]

So setting it to 30fps could help ? ok i try that.

@@Acenis Stop making excuses for pirating dude the devs made huge progress from 3DS to this. Don't suddenly expect Witcher 3 graphics. This is why publishers always prioritize consoles over PC.

[@ionseven]

PC will get a we-want-the-best-for-PC-so-took-us-a-long-time "update" later as usual (even though these are all x86 platforms - the goofy one to port to being the 1st xb1). Gotta get gamers with money to cave in on an xb1x. Even without any good exclusives, MS still has to sell those xb1xs based solely on 3rd parties, and since most people are just buying cheaper PS4s for exclusives and not caring about top graphics or PC if they do want the best in graphics - the xb1x is left in some weird place in the middle. People forget or are too young to remember that MS has gotten dirty in the past A LOT. Just like everything MS gets involved with, Capcom got a fat check, or some other favor, from MS to hold back on those nice textures just for a bit - keep them as timed exclusive features. It's war to them, so they money hat everything.

[@DeeonleeCobb373]

Cutter Elf They prioritize consoles over PC because of the streamlined process when it comes to development and optimization (Cause PC hardware is more varied). That said the 8 month gap should've been enough time to have the PC version with little issues as possible. These devs clearly aren't good optimizing the PC version as they are with consoles.

[@fuzz7981]

[@pcgameboy8407]

Clear lazy port for PC. If devs just made games from the ground up for PC, then port to consoles, everyone would get the best possible experience their platform could achieve.

[@dennymeuparente9603]

PC GameBoy what happens is that normaly making games to consoles is easier because of the unified hardware

[@josh223]

Denny Meu Parente do you know what directX is and what it does? PCs are not wildly different from eachother, even though there are different brands and generations the hardware is based on the same standard building blocks, they arent wildly different like an A10 cpu vs a snapdragon, or the ps3s cell processor vs the powerpc cpu in the xbox360. pc hardware is standardized enough that the differences in hardware arent as relevent anymore, and the consoles are more like PCs than ever so starting on pc and downsizing the game for console makes a lot of sense especially if you plan on having graphics options to tone the game down anyway.

[@BeautifulKurumi]

PIRATES!!! That's why!

[@tripletomtv9958]

Exactly. I mean PS4 and XB1 are already like cheap PCs, they even have a PC architecture so they wouldn't even have to optimize that much for consoles anyway if they build the game first for PC and then port it to consoles.

[@DeToxCommunity]

The SH diffuse resolution differences are noticeable on the ropes on ship sails and the chains at the base. More jaggies from the lighting on lower settings. Thanks for pointing out how lighting quality differs, I couldn't figure that out for the life of me. Also, FXAA is the better looking AA in this game. The TAA has way too much ghosting, and this is coming from someone who swears by TAA. Jaggies are surprisingly not too bad in this game (at least at 1440p) so a poorly implemented TAA isn't worth using imo. MT Framework has also had a great non-blurry FXAA implementation in the past, and it seems like the same one to me.

[@DeToxCommunity]

SMAA will probably be the best, but using SMAA with ReShade hits performance more than I'd like, so I haven't bothered to try it out in this game where I'm already clawing for frames. And yeah, the FXAA does blur a little bit, but it's really not that bad imo. At 4k I'd probably opt to have it off though.

Using a GTX 1070 (slight overclock) on a 7700K (no overclock) on max settings give me around 60-70 FPS in most scenes with some drops to around 55 in rare scenes when fighting monsters in the forest. CPU limitations in single threaded performance could be a factor in the difference between your results on a Ryzen 1700 versus the 7700K. While there are still a lot of issues regarding the settings and their performance impacts, i still find it a bit misleading saying the GTX 1070 is not able to hit 60fps maxed out when CPU is a big factor in this game. I'm getting around 70% usage on the 7700K but never experienced drops into the mid or low 40s

[@MexicanSuperDubi]

i have 1070 and i7 4790k OC 4.6 1070 is also slightly over clocked and it get solid easy 60 fps with volume rendering off and everything els on highest

[@kenshii_jim]

Volume rendering OFF is the obvious tweak, it makes the games colors look so washed up, and costs so much!

[@kevlar218]

This was the one thing I absolutely hated about the console version. In some scenes when you are in the forest under the trees and the sun is shining through it can look great but anywhere else outdoors and it makes the game looks so ugly and washed out. I immediately turned it off when I started playing on PC and everything looks so vibrant now. Sure the charm of the atmosphere I got accustomed to while playing on consoles is gone but I've gotten used to the new way it looks and couldn't be happier.

[@AceStrife]

I had a really bizarre experience with z-prepass. EDIT: This was due to ReShade + SpecialK. It doubled the draw calls when enabled. Played the game just fine the first 2 days, no performance issues at all completely maxed out. But today, having it run for about 1.5 hours in the character creator, then doing the opening, I was having severe performance issues.. eventually went through settings and switching z-prepass off shot my framerate from 50 to its 75hz cap. CPU/GPU usage were nowhere near max either. In fact, switching it off made GPU usage shoot up as well, as if something in the rendering thread was bottlenecking the entire thing. Restarted the game and there was no real difference between the settings. Completely baffling. As if the already apparently technical issues and performance wasn't enough, there's bizarre stuff like this happening too. Anyway, thanks so much for doing videos like these. They're some of the best technical analysis of things I've ever seen.

Well sure but like I said. I don't care about context here. They asked money for it and it's in a shit state. The reasons don't matter.

[@BLACKLIGHTNING7B7]

Great video really helped me get a better experience

[@Imgema]

Really bad PC port. Hard pass.

[@TMLFerreira]

Not sure if this is because of the drivers issue of the past, but with a GTX 1060 I'm actually averaging ~70 FPS in 1080p, way better than shown in the video. My settings are: SH Diffuse Quality: Low Volume Rendering Quality: Off Everything else: High/On/TAA/Full

[@cy9nvs]

I hope the next MH game won't be delayed on PC because of $ony. Having to wait 7 months for a game that isn't visually improved to the cobsole versions and doesn't support things like 21:9 is a fucking joke.

[@m3nguele]

Vermillion programmed delays suck, but I think the game looks good enough, I would like to see he testing with large Monsters. Human is a great album btw.

[@dialmightyspartangod6717]

Vermillion You mean Capcom right? They themselves said they pushed it on PS4 because they knew it would be a success. More specifically in the West.

[@christopherscott934]

I have to agree actually. Although the game looks fine for consoles, its rather meh, graphically on PC. Some of the textures look like shit, also cards like the 1070,1080 and 1080 Ti ought to smash this game. There has to be some optimization issues here and there. Honestly, I expected more for the PC version.

[@OmegaSephiroth112]

Vermillion don't let your tin foil hat fall off. It was delayed because the team themselves said they didn't have enough experience working for pc and didn't want to rush it.

[@Tatsufollower]

Vermillion whats a cobsole?

[@MGsubbie]

Yes, been waiting for this.

[@VaJohn]

Ps4 Pro was a rushed decision.

[@timothyweakly2496]

VaJohn You triggered someone didn't you lol.

[@mohammmedidris1710]

flibbittygibbitt wow a sane person spotted upvote for you my friend

[@mohammmedidris1710]

flibbittygibbitt someones triggered over obvious bait

[@timothyweakly2496]

Mohammmed Idris How so?

[@Ryutai7]

always great content!

[@averytucker790]

I've said it one, I said it twice, and I'll say it thrice. Japan never cares about the PC ports. Or making sure the game is truly optimized. Only America and Europe does that. The only thing Japan cares about is making it truly fun. Something America and Europe need to work on more often (Well mostly the US).

[@thedoom523]

Turn off TSAA to get rid of the blurry textures.

[@thevoiceoftruth55]

You guys think this port is bad? This is nothing compared to the original RE4 port lmao.

[@allexiour3131]

I found the settings with a mix of lows and mediums on my PC ( i5 6500 + rx480 ) to finally get 1080p 60fps.... It looks kinda crappy... But i just learn to live with it for now.... Consistent framerate is most important in this game especially when fighting the monsters... But im still having tons fun so yay.... Hope that there are updates soon for a better performance on PC

[@christopherscott934]

Can't wait to see some ReShades and ENB presets for this game. This game has some low texture quality in areas as well, which is typical alot of times of console ports. Modders will fix that soon I'm sure.

[@farisx1425]

I did use reshade with it, for lumasharpen n it works.

[@XxReNgaDexX]

The game has Denuvo in it.. so modding could likely cause you to get banned from playing online

[@MetatronsCube23]

No fucking mods! dont wreck the game.

[@seenoweevil1991]

Something far off in the scene at 12:13 (maybe the waterfall) hits the framerate hard and dropping settings barely helps to the point where I think there's something buggy here. It's by far the most demanding scene in the game for me. More so than a dense forest section with large monsters battling.

[@skootz24]

Surprise surprise, Japan has no clue how to make a game for PC...

[@SubTonic]

Can't even begin to tell you guys how awesome and useful this guide is. Gained quite a bit of performance with these tweaks and the game still looks great. I am hoping for that texture fix, since I find it weird that the "Full" setting only uses 70-80% of my GTX 970's memory. Of course, I may be forced down to 1024 if the patched Full setting wants more than my card can offer, but it needs fixed regardless.

[@shtiken]

Why would you think you'd be able to get double the frame rate at the same settings with a 1060? Typically a 1060 performs at roughly the same level as an Xbox One X.

[@ИмЯФаМиЛиЯ-щ2т1ф]

1060 4 trflops. xboxX 6trflops. 1070 6trflops

[@Dregomz02]

tflops doesn't mean shit, amd's 6tflops = 4tflops of nvida

[@antoniogalindo9795]

Dregomz02 honestly I feel you on the amd/Nvidia ratio but the Xbox One X gpu can outperform the 1060 it’s just matched with a poor cpu.

[@mathewbilodeau]

That’s an awfully simplistic way to look at it. PS4 Pro = just about an RX 570. Xbox One X = a bit more than an RX 580. They are custom made GPUs by AMD for Microsoft and Sony.

[@ИмЯФаМиЛиЯ-щ2т1ф]

dregomz02, xbox one X cpu + gpu = 6 tflops. 1070 gpu 6 tflops. + cpu. PC 1070 > X1X > PC 1060 > PS4 PRO but ps4 pro has 8 gddr5 x1x has 12 gddr5.

[@HawooAwoo]

I have an i5 6600 and a RX480 8GB. The game is 100% cpu bound on my end with my gpu being capped at around 80% usage while my main performance woe is making sure my 90%-100% used CPU doesn't overheat.

[@walkinspace2469]

Another quality PC port by Crapcom

[@Robonator14]

Their past ones were pretty good though.

[@EcchiRevenge]

RE6 wasn't too bad, RE7 ran decently as well(ironically it runs way better than this, at over 120fps on 1080p).

[@iciboy9]

Honestly i'm supper happy with the performance. WIth an i5-8600k and a 1060 6GB im running at a constant 70+ fps (with volumetric quality turned off ofc). Game was well worth the wait !

[@acidsyndicate355]

quest failed? 30 vs around 60 fps.. weird....

[@duskairable]

That's the point df didn't get, fps differences haha.

[@daweitao2668]

The quest was to hit 60FPS while maintaining equal visual/graphical quality with the Xbox One X. To reach a steady 60FPS settings had to be lowered in comparison to the xbox, hence the fail. (Also going by the intro the One X runs the game between 35FPS and 50FPS.)

[@tripletomtv9958]

Just disable the volumetric lighting, really, it looks a lot more clean without it and the gain in fps is huge.

[@bloodysnday]

are you a peasent?

[@LycanNaryko]

Except Xbox One X does run the game higher than 30fps at 1080p.

[@tacos-sama]

I actually get more fps on variable prioritize resolution over high

[@Zealolicious]

I'd just go with 30 fps if you have a lower end card. I'm running it on the highest settings on a 960 at 30 fps, no problem

[@atlas8827]

i'm on a 970 :/

[@Zealolicious]

Guilherme Eduardo Carvalho better off than me! I have a 960 2gb

[@atlas8827]

30fps, here we go!

[@Zealolicious]

Guilherme Eduardo Carvalho enjoy man! I'm just glad they finally brought this franchise to pc

[@ChillaKillaShaun]

I have a 670 and dropped to 2 fps in some cases with everything on low. I don´t know what to do at this point, can only hope for Capcom to fix their shitty optimization.

[@bengejuknowit3048]

For some reason this video is suggesting my content, going by my analytics. much appreciated!

[@SanguinetheWOlf]

Thsi comparrison is so much bullshit because I hit more FPS with a 1070 then your titan x. with a I7 7700.

[@FF_81_]

Great analysis 👍👍👍

[@spicypicklez6410]

FULL FAT EXPERIENCE

[@DarkDrifter]

Hi, nice video Alex, as usual. As a graphics programmer, I'm somewhat confused as why they allow to touch some of these options like 64 bits HDR (which is the standard nowadays), or Z-Prepass. Z-Prepass is nice if your GPU is the limiting factor, nice it generate the Z-buffer once then render objects with their shaders, so there is zero overdraw for opaque objects

[@darkerm76]

unoptimized as hell on pc -_- Oh yeah forgot! Denuvo

[@battyflaps5410]

Still going to buy it, i run a 1060 6gb and 2560x1080 resolution, I will be playing with a controller though so it might not be so annoying. In a few months i should hopefully be upgrading the gpu to an RTX2080ti and should have plenty of performance

[@racerrrchaserrr]

It's unsettling how many fanboys look past all of the glaring issues.

[@zarithevill]

Playing it on my GTX 1070 and 1600X, all maxed @ 64-bit HDR except for LOD bias which is on "Variable" and Volume Rendering Quality which is on "High". Getting Mostly 60FPS while dipping only to around 55 in huge monster fights with heavy graphical areas.

[@crozraven]

MHW PC is CPU heavy might also because of DENUVO?? I mean it's not a first case of games with DENUVO DRM really affects CPU performances or even overall performances.

[@wstrs5090]

Did you even see through the video? It's not CPU heavy but GPU heavy so Denuvo has nothing to do with crappy performance here. Sadly it's just another Crapcom unoptimized port.

[@nojcett]

After watching the video I still think the game is CPU heavy, not GPU. Whenever I'm playing my CPU is at 100% Usage while my GPU is only at about 30%.

[@Cptraktorn]

it is heavy, my i7 4770k runs at 60-90% usage and thats while my gpu is bottlenecking 99% use 100% of the time. (980ti on 3440x1440)

[@iamcll]

It's stupidly cpu heavy, But it's the gpu heavyness that's the issue.

[@SheepFreak2]

Thx man, this video really helped me get my 60fps on gtx 970 without sacking resolution

[@Venom_Byte]

DOOM: Eternal gameplay analysis NAO!

[@Nateyo]

Watching this video over 5 year later with a 5600X and 6800XT and oh boy what a difference over the 1070. Double and up to triple the FPS at 1080p max settings. Obviously the hardware has improved over the years but I don't know if the game has also been fixed and optimized heavily. I'm a new player so I wouldn't know how bad it was before. Would be cool to explore a mhw video again before or after monster hunter wilds comes out.
